Every case is a unique opportunity; the strongest narrative arcs and elements are those that stick in the heads of a jury, mediator or adjuster. VisuaLegal helps clients discover those unique elements and brings them to life. Here are a few examples of our biggest settlement victories and some of the varying techniques we used to win them.
Arias
An apartment riddled with mold infestation, the lingering health effects and a homeless family provided the backdrop for this mediation which included scientific animation, video testimony and animated presentation graphics.
Exxon/Mobile
Fabela
A mother rescues her son from a burning house, leaving a permanent scar of her handprint upon his burnt shoulders. Animating this horrific event created a moment during mediation when all parties paused in respectful contemplation of the landlord's abuse and disregard for the causal indiscretions.
Flores
Simple graphics and emotional video testimony can mean the difference providing substantial settlement for your clients. A rudimentary map with animated event demonstrated how far this client went to chase down a defendant even after suffering multiple dog bites.
Healy
Lawyer-shot interview video with still images and a short animation to create a short video detailing the painful debridement process our client went through due to a hospital mishap. Simple filtrations such as subtle vignetting and color management portrayed our client in more empathetic light during the mediation.
King
VisuaLegal graphics supported a case involving deficient building code and engineering. A mother and daughter develop asthma-like symptoms; VL editing emphasized this relationship, underlining the mother's fear as she watches her child struggle to breathe. Graphics included using hand-written letters from the mother with deposition audio, a potent way to paint a simple picture.
Tene
Our client went on vacation only to return to an apartment entirely covered with ash and soot. Even though the fire happened in an upstairs apartment.
Wadsworth
A disingenuous and non-contracted property manager sets about to rip open a home's basement that's replete with dangerous mold. As a result our client developed a threatening and surgery necessary polypectomy. Our animations provided a resonant reminder to the mediator and adjuster of the trials our client went through as a result.
Bedoya
Deposition and home video footage shot by our clients revealed many factual inconsistencies in the Defendant's testimony. These falsehoods were then supplanted by expert testimony audio combined with animations of a building rife with mold, built below grade. Our clients, who dealt with the same ineffectual landlord for over 6 years were vindicated with one of our largest settlements.
