The Use Of Technology In Personal Injury Trials

You have probably heard the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” This saying could not be any more accurate, especially at trial. The evidence at court and how it is presented could mean the difference between winning and losing. The rise of technology has undeniably made it easier to demonstrate how an accident occurred. Consequently, lawyers have increasingly relied on technology to help substantiate evidence in front of juries.

Tools for Presenting A Strong Case

Some types of cutting-edge technology that personal injury attorneys use to present compelling cases at trial include:

Injury Simulation Recreations: Seeing an accident is more persuasive than simply hearing about it. When used along with an expert accident reconstructionist, a recreation of an accident can help the jury visualize the sequence of events, support the victim’s claims, and establish liability.

Medical Illustrations: When advanced medical diagrams are shown to a jury, members can more fully appreciate the true scope of the injuries.

Surgical Animations: Animations of surgery can help the jury understand how it is performed and better understand the potential complications and risks that the victim faces.

How Does Technology Benefit a Personal Injury Case?

With the proper use of technology, a skilled personal injury lawyer can vividly depict their client’s story and portray the case more effectively. When technology is used, trial lawyers often appear more credible, emphasize key evidence better, and are more persuasive. Numerous studies have established that visual aids during a courtroom presentation significantly increase the jury’s ability to recall vital details. The jury can more accurately visualize the victim’s injuries and pain and suffering using new technology to determine reasonable damages. Furthermore, medical terminology, surgical procedures, and diagnostic studies can be confusing. Demonstrative aids allow lawyers to present crucial information in a way that is easier for the jury to comprehend. When a jury thoroughly understands the severity of an injury, they are more likely to appreciate the devastating impact it has had on the victim.
