On the day of the accident in this case, a truck rear-ended a woman while at a stoplight. The contact was so light, no insurance information was exchanged, no police were called, and the plaintiff indicated she was perfectly fine.

Quality of presentation made a difference in this trial:

• Plaintiff did not have tech support and was trying to show documents via an iPad on the in court screen — resulting in blurry images and illegible text.
• Defense, with the assistance of JURIS LTS, shared documents easily, side-by-side, with clear, crisp zoom capabilities and fast loads.

For example:

Plaintiff claimed she could not remember the street she was on during the accident or any details about the accident.

Defense shared on screen the side-by-side conflicts between her live testimony and her deposition indicated she did have a good memory of the accident.

Plaintiff moved about the court as if in crippling pain.

Defense shared evidence of her enjoying a trip to Paris and surveillance video of her walking normally and picking things up easily.

On the stand, Plaintiff claimed she was hit so hard she needed back surgery and had constant pain.

As she spoke, Defense: highlighted medical records with legal tech assistance, showing contradictions in her claims, and shared an accident recreation expert illustration that the truck’s black box had no record of any major velocity change.

Due to the expert strategy of Defense counsel and the solid legal technology assist provided by JURIS LTS, the court decision was more than ideal. Plaintiff demand was $600K; award was $0.
