Any case that involves injuries, whether it be a medical malpractice suit or a car wreck benefits from a quality medical illustration or animation. DLS does not create our own medical illustrations for use in our presentations, this is a very specialized field that takes a graphic designer with an extensive medical background. We suggest our clients to use a company based out of Dallas named MediVisuals.
While I can’t attest to how many illustrations they have, I do know that I’ve never had a client make a request they couldn’t produce. The downfall of using a company such as MediVisuals is the cost, while each illustration differs in price, they are normally very cost prohibitive for smaller cases (car wrecks), but are extremely useful if your case can justify the cost.
The next time you have a case involving an injury or botched medical procedure, put yourself in a jurors shoes… Would you be able to visualize what your expert is discussing? If not, I highly recommend using medical illustrations or animations.

One of the most important of these is we spend more time in trial than most attorneys do. While we may not know the in’s and out’s of the law, we see the real world strategies and their results on a monthly basis. Many times, I get hired on a case that is very similar to one that I have previously worked. I can then give suggestions of what another attorney’s strategy was, and whether or not it was effective.
When you are in the heat of the battle you can always use another opinion. A Trial Technologist’s opinion is one that is more of an outside view. While we strive to do everything in our power to help bring positive results for our clients, we have no monetary interest vested in the outcome. We also don’t typically know the minute details of your case, which gives us a more independent view of how testimony is going. Our opinions might not be the correct one, but having a different person’s point of view is always helpful.
Recently a juror said it best when being questioned by opposing counsel after the verdict was rendered: “I’m a 1st grade teacher and one way we teach our children is through the use of projectors and PowerPoint in the classroom. Your lack of technology made some points very hard to follow”.
