A team of trial attorneys successfully achieved a $1,987,500 pre-suit settlement for a woman who sustained serious bodily injuries, including severe spinal fractures, after an intoxicated driver caused a collision involving her vehicle. The Plaintiff was stopped in her PT Cruiser at a traffic signal when she was violently rear-ended by an F350 truck operated by an intoxicated driver traveling 45-50 MPH. The impact of the collision caused extensive injuries, including a concussion, hemothorax, pneumothorax, rib fractures, blood loss, and severe spinal injuries at the thoracic levels. Further, the injuries sustained in the collision led to the Plaintiff suffering through a challenging recovery process and an additional invasive spinal fusion operation to stabilize her back.

DK Global was tasked with effectively relaying the internal injuries that the Plaintiff sustained, and conveying their severity. With guidance from in-house medical illustrators and experts, DK Global began to assemble a medical animation that vividly portrayed the spine damage and the complexity of the reparative fusion surgery. Each of the most important components of her injuries are displayed and explained. Text and labeling simplify the injuries and make them easy to understand, while compelling graphics keep the viewers' attention. The animation proved to be a strategic tool at mediation and contributed to obtaining a $1,987,500 settlement for this legal team's deserving client.
