Project Description
These panels were created for a medical-legal case study. We were given limited reports and scans for a plaintiff who sustained injuries in the thoracic region from a motor vehicle accident. These were to be interpreted and used to create exhibits suitable for use as demonstrative evidence in litigation. While they are meant to demonstrate that the plaintiff sustained significant injuries, to be admissible as evidence, they must be objective and cannot evoke a strong emotional response. The objective of this project was to provide accurate illustrations that help the jury understand the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. They were designed to be suitable for projection on a courtroom screen. A medical expert would describe these exhibits to the jury in more detail.
