Types of Medical Malpractice Cases Ideal for Trial Graphics

No attorney has complete control over who is seated on a jury. Between the challenges for cause and the peremptory challenges, you might not always get the jury you hoped for, but that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll change your strategy. You still have a compelling story to tell that is backed up by evidence.

In a medical malpractice case, the evidence you present might be extremely complex and a challenge for the jury to understand.

That’s why you need to enhance your presentation with medical malpractice trial exhibits prepared by Advocacy Digital Media. We are the industry leader in providing a range of compelling trial graphics to support attorneys in bolstering their cases. What types of medical malpractice cases are ideal for trial graphics?

The short answer: All of them.

This post explains the benefits of trial graphics and how you can use them in your upcoming medical malpractice case.

What Are the Benefits of Trial Graphics?

In a medical malpractice case, you not only have to explain what happened to your client but also create empathy for the pain and suffering they’ve endured. Their testimony will be supported by the trial graphic visuals you’ll present to the jury. These visuals can help explain how the fault was with the medical professional and not your client.

Trial graphics also help you establish credibility with the jury. As your medical expert testifies, you can support their testimony with the visuals. They’ll be able to walk the jury through the illustrations or an animated video. These will reinforce what your expert has to say.

Trial graphics also help break down the complex medical terminology that is part of these cases.

It is rare for a medical professional to serve on a jury in a medical malpractice case. That means your jury members might not understand the medical classification terms for procedures and specific body parts.

Here are the types of medical malpractice cases that you can utilize trial graphics with:

Surgical Errors

According to the Patient Safety Network, there is one instance of surgical error out of every 112,000 procedures. The medical animations prepared by Advocacy Digital Media can pinpoint the exact error in which the surgeon deviated from standard procedure and caused the injury.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can be explained with infographics that illustrate worsening symptoms. That can help establish negligence in the eyes of the jury.

Birth Injuries

Trial graphics can include presentations of labeled photos. In claims of birth injuries, the exhibit can help the jurors comprehend the scope of pain and suffering for the child and the family.

Medication Errors

An animation of how a drug is supposed to interact in the body demonstrates the correct medication. With a wrong medication error, that animation can depict the harmful effects of a drug on a microscopic level. That helps the jury understand the harmful effects.

Clarifying Medical Procedures

Trial graphics can provide a step-by-step course on how a medical procedure is supposed to be carried out. By providing understandable, correct steps, it will be easy to pinpoint where things went wrong. Overall, your medical malpractice trial graphics will provide a clear picture of the relevant anatomy and injury.

All of these presentations are focused on a single goal: Get the jury to remember what they saw in court when they deliberate.
