$5 Million Recovery for Car Accident Victim with Severe Arm Injury
The client was seriously injured in a T-bone car accident. In the split second before impact, they extended their arm in a natural reaction to brace for the crash. The force caused multiple fractures to the ulna and radius, leaving them with a permanent loss of full range of motion in the arm.

Challenge
The biggest challenge was communicating the long-term struggles the client faced after the accident. Despite years of treatment and multiple surgeries, recovery remained incomplete. It was critical to clearly show the jury and opposing counsel not only the extent of the injuries but also how they permanently impacted the client’s quality of life.
Visual Strategy
Our strategy focused on telling the client’s medical and personal story in a compelling, evidence-based way. We aimed to highlight:
The number of surgeries required
The intensity of treatment over several years
The permanent impact on daily life
By combining medical accuracy with persuasive visuals, we ensured the client’s struggles were impossible to overlook in court.
Our Work
To execute this strategy, we developed a comprehensive set of visuals, including:
Patient Care Timeline – A detailed overview of years of medical treatment
Surgical Animations – Step-by-step depictions of invasive procedures
Colorized DICOM Imaging – Enhanced radiology visuals that revealed fractures and internal damage
These exhibits gave decision-makers a clear, accurate picture of the severity and permanence of the injuries.
Results
With the support of these visuals, the legal team secured a $5 million settlement. The outcome not only provided justice but also ensured the client had the resources to continue recovery and adjust to lasting limitations.
