DeWitt Algorri + Algorri, PC, obtained a $2.4M verdict for two plaintiffs who suffered catastrophic injuries that required months of painful recovery after a drunk driver smashed their vehicle into a guardrail on the highway. The verdict was awarded exclusively for the victims' pain and suffering - no punitive damages were involved.
The driver suffered a severely crushed ankle with bone protrusion through the skin, which required several surgeries over the course of a year. The passenger suffered a compression spine fracture, rib fractures, a right clavicle fracture, a finger fracture, and a dislocated hip.
Patrick Nolan, Esq., and Carolyn Tan, Esq., needed to show what these injuries and surgeries looked like in order to emphasize the magnitude of damages their clients suffered. They tasked High Impact with illustrating the painful devastation and complicated recovery.
"I do remember one moment where the judge actually cringed, and that's a reaction that an X-ray wouldn't be able to draw from someone," said Ms. Tan. "When you see an X-ray: you see the bone, you see the fracture - but you don't see the actual damage, the blood, or the realism. But with High Impact's illustrations, the judge really saw how major the injury was, as opposed to just reading about it in a surgical report or seeing the X-ray scan. "
"I always recommend High Impact to other attorneys because they're collaborative, they're very responsive, and the quality of their work is unmatched," said Mr. Nolan. "We've tried other companies, but High Impact delivers exactly what you need with great communication, collaboration, and responsiveness."
