Unveiling the Power of Evidence in Disputed Liability Cases
Proving liability in any case has always been critical, and today I want to share with you a remarkable success story that highlights the power of preparation and visual evidence in disputed liability cases. This story revolves around trial attorney Lyle Long of Long, Jean & Wechsler, P.A. from Pompano Beach, Florida, who recently achieved a staggering $1.1 million dollar settlement for his client in a motor vehicle collision case, despite the defense offering an insulting $65,000.
Preparing for Disputed Liability Battles: A Winning Strategy
Lyle's exceptional handling of the case began with swift action, obtaining key pieces of evidence that would later prove pivotal in establishing liability. He managed to secure the police body cam footage, which captured the vehicles and his injured client on video, as well as toll booth surveillance footage of the defendant vehicle. To strengthen the toll booth footage, Lyle enlisted the expertise of Forensic Video Law, employing advanced graphics and forensic enhancement techniques that conclusively demonstrated the defendant had run a red light.
Additionally, Lyle took the defendant's deposition and skillfully exposed his multiple lies using audio recordings of witnesses, ultimately proving his lack of credibility. Armed with this compelling evidence and a client who had suffered major physical damages, including fractures and requiring surgery, Lyle embarked on the path to mediation.
From $65,000 to $1.1 Million: Mastering Disputed Liability
Understanding the significance of visual storytelling in proving disputed liability, Lyle once again collaborated with Forensic Video Law to create a professionally scripted and edited HD Mediation Video. Combining the enhanced toll booth footage, selected defendant video deposition clips, audio recordings of fact witnesses, and high-end graphics, James Jenkins crafted a powerful 9-minute presentation that left the defense overwhelmed. The undeniable weight of the evidence presented in the mediation video led to the defense settling the case for $1.1 million dollars.
