When a careless driver failed to yield the right-of-way to Jane, they collided with the 70-year-old woman’s vehicle and aggravated her second traumatic brain injury in 2 years, leaving her with worsened symptoms. Unfortunately, the first attorney that Jane retained failed to help her with her case, referring her to chiropractors who refused to note any of her more serious injuries. After the unpleasant experience with her initial attorney, Jane found Pius Joseph of The Law Offices of Pius Joseph about 3 months after the incident, and Pius quickly approached the case with more effective strategies.

Animations Showing Brain Injuries Improve Case Value

Pius shifted the strategy from focusing on the soft-tissue damages found by the chiropractor, to an approach that needed effective visuals to communicate the severity of her traumatic brain injury. Pius commissioned DK Global to enhance and colorize the MRIs of the injuries, and create an animation that accurately showed the tearing of axons within his client’s brain. The animation begins with the brain, portrayed at the molecular level, as the axons begin to shear from the head injury, causing Jane to suffer from symptoms including anxiety, memory loss, depression, and an overall decrease in mental performance.

With this new, irrefutable presentation, Pius and his client went into mediation and resolved with a favorable settlement of almost one million dollars, just 30 days before trial, allowing Jane to retire and pursue her life and recovery comfortably.
