"Our opening statement was 30 minutes long and nineteen of it was your video…"
When A devastating car crash left an emotionally indispensable 76 year-old family patriarch fully incapacitated, Hector J. Rojas Jr. needed to effectively show a jury his client's Life Now.
Why Choose Film for this Case
“What was powerful in the film was the condition my client was in, the seriousness of his disability, the seriousness of his deterioration over time… the video starts showing photos of him how he was, the man he was before this and how he looked – he was a heavier-set man, you know, he had a grandpa belly. And then you see him in the video and he's this deteriorated, almost alien-looking individual. You see, the jury doesn't really know what his disabilities are outside of testimony, because they don't see it visually. So really, for me, that’s what the video's purpose is… to show a jury, most importantly, who your client was before and after the crash, and how those changes have affected all of them.”
Case Outcome
The jury awarded the family $18,977,696.87, including more than $477,500 in medical expenses, $7 million for the value of his life, and $11.5 million for his suffering. Thanks for including us, Hector, and congratulations again to you and the team at Morgan & Morgan.
