Featured Case -
$42M Verdict in Colorado

Attorneys Jason Jordan and Nick Rowley were tasked with overcoming a difficult liability case and used Iconographics' animations to show that the motorcycle driver was liable for the significant injuries suffered by his passenger.  Iconographics created animations from several points of view, including the point of view of the motorcycle driver, to demonstrate his excessive speed and disregard for the dangerous condition in the roadway.  Ultimately, the attorneys secured a $42 million dollar verdict for their deserving client.
