Medical Illustration in the Courtroom

Proving Injury, Causation, and Damages

By Lindsay E. Coulter

Medical Illustration in the Courtroom: Proving Injury, Causation, and Damages educates the reader on how to communicate science visually—in personal injury, medical malpractice, criminal, and forensic cases—by creating art that utilizes medical records, radiographs, and computer software.

Medical illustration bridges the gap between complex technical, medical, and scientific concepts to clearly illustrate, and explain visually, a medical condition, negligence, or the causation of an injury or death to the lay person. Medical artists are frequently challenged with illustrating injuries and medical conditions that can’t be seen by the naked eye. And while using medical photography and imaging for illustrative purposes can be helpful, to an untrained eye it can often be unclear or confusing. This is where the medical illustrator enters the equation. There are often patients who have recovered from an injury or infection that appear in good health. However, should an unforeseen injury or fatality happen, medical illustrators can reveal to people what’s actually going on inside the person, an invaluable asset to attorneys in the courtroom—especially for personal injury and medical malpractice cases. While many attorneys utilize medical artists, nonvisual people don’t always recognize the value of demonstrative aids until they see them first-hand.

When attorneys and their clients enlist the aid of medical artists, it quickly becomes apparent that properly conceived and executed artwork is invaluable to illustrating the facts—and medical impacts—of any number of scenarios: homicides by shooting, stabbings, vehicular accidents, in addition to medical

malpractice and personal injuries resulting from surgery or possible negligence.

Presenting a myriad of services and computer technologies that can be utilized, Medical Illustration in the Courtroom provides demonstrative aids used in cases to illustrate personal injury and medical malpractice, employing "tricks of the trade" to create an accurate effective image. Such images educate attorneys, insurance adjusters, judges, and juries to help create a visual storyline to help combine art and science to provide a clear illustration of events to help in adjudicate legal and forensic cases.

Testimonials

"We recently represented a hospitalist in a case when the patient plaintiff suffered a stroke following bilateral total knee replacement. ION Medical Designs provided excellent medical illustrations demonstrating the patent foramen ovale and the progress of a clot from the lower leg to the brain. I used the illustrations with multiple experts and they were able to use them to explain why the patient’s theory of what happened did not make sense and why the defense’s explanation was medically correct. ION not only provided great illustrations, but they worked with me and the expert witnesses prior to trial to fine tune the illustrations and make the presentation flawless. This is now my third experience with ION and I continue to be more impressed each time."

"The Law Offices of Koron & Podolsky, LLP represented a young girl injured in a motor vehicle accident. The illustration was utilized by the attorneys throughout the jury trial, which took place in December 2012 in Ventura, California. In the end, the jury returned a verdict finding liability against both defendants in the case, and awarded a sum of money to fully, fairly, and adequately compensate the plaintiff. The illustration was a big factor in making an impact with the jury, assisting the jury in understanding the severity of the injuries, as well as the expert testimony from the treating doctors. ION Medical Designs provided excellent service from start to finish, including changing the illustration multiple times. This was the first time the services of ION Medical Designs were used by our firm, but certainly not the last."

“Working with Lindsay and Ken on our project to promote awareness and access to treatment for COVID-19 was such a pleasure. Their creative approach to creating a graphic novel and corresponding animation in collaboration with our advisory panel helped ensure the products spoke to the intended audience. Beautiful, engaging, and scientifically accurate, these products were an important component of our dissemination campaign. The campaign altogether led to an over 500% increase in referrals for treatment in Colorado during one of the biggest waves of the pandemic. Visual representations of complex scientific concepts was vital for communicating to the public how treatments for COVID-19 work.” <br>https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/mab-colorado<br>https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/mab-colorado/mab-products/for-community
