See How Dordick Law secured a substantial award for their client in a catastrophic brain injury case utilizing MotionLit Animations and Medical Illustrations

Trial attorney Gary Dordick and Christopher Bulone of Dordick Law secured a $42.7 Million settlement for their client in a catastrophic brain injury case. The case involved a plaintiff who was driving a U-Haul rental truck on the freeway, when the truck suddenly erupted in dark, billowing smoke and scorching flames. Engulfed in smoke and flames plaintiff had no choice but to jump for his life from the inoperable moving truck. As a result of the fall, plaintiff suffered multiple bodily injuries and a fractured skull. The traumatic brain Injury caused plaintiffs brain ventricles to swell-up, requiring surgical intervention to alleviate the pressure from the brain swelling and save his life.

Dordick Law retained MotionLit to produce visuals including Animations and Medical Illustrations to aid with the trial presentation by helping the jurors understand the mechanics of the incident and life threatening injuries.

With the help of MotionLit, the Animation combined the multiple key expert witness factors described the mechanical failures that caused the engine fire including; low oil and fluid levels, along with ruptured hoses that spilled the combustible fluid onto the sizzling engine manifold.

A walkthrough of the MotionLit animation also showed the mechanism of what caused the traumatic brain injury from the plaintiffs impact to the ground.
