What Happens When Doctors and Lawyers Work Together on Injury Evidence

In injury litigation, success depends on the strength of the evidence. That evidence often starts in a hospital or clinic. But too often, what begins as clear medical documentation becomes confusing once it reaches the courtroom.

Bridging the gap between medical data and legal presentation has always been a challenge. Doctors and lawyers speak different languages. But with the right tools, those differences can be overcome.

Following the Path of a Scan

Imagine a patient walks into an emergency room with back pain after a fall. A CT scan is taken. The radiologist makes a report. Later, the patient hires an attorney to file a claim. That scan, written for another doctor, is now evidence in a legal case.

This is where many cases run into problems. A traditional scan may be accurate, but it was not made with a jury in mind. Lawyers then have to rely on costly experts to translate the scan into something the court can understand.

Bringing Both Sides Together

VoxScan offers a solution that makes the original scan easier to understand and present. The software takes the same DICOM files that hospitals use and turns them into clear, interactive 3D visuals. These visuals can be shared with clients, doctors, judges, and jurors alike.

When doctors and lawyers work together using tools like this, both sides benefit. The doctor gets to ensure their work is presented accurately. The lawyer gets a visual aid that strengthens the case.

Stories from the Field

A firm working on a traumatic brain injury case partnered with a radiologist to review the scans. Using VoxScan, they isolated the injury and created a walkthrough for the jury. The combination of expert input and advanced visuals helped them win the case.

Another example involved a workplace injury. The attending physician was able to confirm the accuracy of the 3D model, giving the attorney confidence in using it during mediation. The case settled quickly, saving both sides time and resources.

When doctors and lawyers share tools that speak to both worlds, the results are better for everyone involved.
