As Jeb and Matt explain, animation can be a uniquely powerful tool for laying out the scene of a collision, demonstrating how internal injuries occurred, and confirming eyewitness testimony in front of a jury. Showing a jury what happened, rather than only telling them, changes how the case is decided.\n\nThe firm's most recent example was the wrongful death case of Mark Cohen, a Georgia man killed in a head-on collision when another driver crossed the center line. The case involved admitted liability, so the dispute was not about how the crash happened but about what it cost the family. Butler Kahn worked with DK Global and a forensic pathologist to produce an animation that did more than show the crash itself. The animation walked the jury through the internal injuries Mr. Cohen suffered, showing the chest trauma that led to internal bleeding and cardiac arrest. The firm was also able to show the animation to an eyewitness, who confirmed for the jury that the animation accurately depicted what he had seen happen on the road.\n\nBy the time the jury reached deliberation, there was no real dispute about how the collision occurred or how it caused Mr. Cohen's death. The jury could focus on the damages question Butler Kahn wanted at the centerpiece of the case: the full value of Mr. Cohen's life. The Cobb County jury returned a $28 million verdict. Butler Kahn then added $1.2 million in prejudgment interest under Georgia's Unliquidated Damages and Interest Act and $6.3 million in attorneys' fees under Georgia's Rule 68 offer of settlement statute, bringing the total judgment to approximately $35.5 million.\n\nButler Kahn focuses on a limited number of high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death cases each year and invests in the kind of trial preparation, expert witness work, and visual demonstrative evidence that allows a client's story to be told fully and accurately to a jury.\n\nRead more about the recognition: https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/blog\/butler-kahn-honored-with-the-prestige-award-setting-new-standards-in-legal-advocacy\/\n\nLearn more about Butler Kahn: https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/\n\nIf you have questions about a serious injury or wrongful death case in Georgia, call Butler Kahn at 678-940-1444 for a free consultation.\n\nDisclaimer:\nWe are not your lawyer.
