An Extra Step: Medical Illustrations
If an insurance company or big corporation chooses not to play fair, we won’t hesitate to take them to court. At this stage of an injury claim, we know the stakes are high. That’s why our firm often goes to the extra expense of hiring a medical illustrator to create illustrations of our clients’ injuries.
Accompanied by x-rays and other diagnostic tests, these colorful pieces of evidence help jurors and insurance adjusters understand the extent of the injuries our clients are facing after an accident.
