Before discovering EvenUp's medical chronologies (MedChrons), Holt and his team relied on traditional methods to organize and present medical data. This meant creating PowerPoint presentations or manually summarizing key points on whiteboards. The inefficiency and time-consuming nature of these methods pushed Holt to seek a better solution.
Holt turned to EvenUp to streamline his workflow and enhance his trial preparation. EvenUp’s interactive medical chronologies presented medical information in a clear, chronological format, making it easier to track the progression of his client's treatment and identify key medical opinions.
Using EvenUp's medical chronologies, Holt created a comprehensive overview of his client's medical history. "When I get into traumatic brain injury cases like this, I need a 30,000-foot view to understand the linear way the client was treated," Holt explained. "The medical chronology is absolutely critical to understanding the overall injuries and the doctors they've seen."
EvenUp’s medical chronologies helped Holt identify the most critical medical opinions and decide which doctors to call as witnesses.
Another standout feature of EvenUp's medical chronologies was the ability to hyperlink directly to the original medical records. This functionality allowed Holt to verify information quickly and efficiently, ensuring that he had accurate data at his fingertips.
In the courtroom, EvenUp's medical chronologies were invaluable. One feature that was especially important was the calendar view, which provides visualizations of treatment timelines, making it easy to identify pre- and post-incident treatments, treatment gaps, and significant medical events.
Holt used the calendar view to create visual aids that summarized his client's medical history, making it easier for the jury to grasp the case's complexity. "The visual part of it was most important," Holt emphasized. "The jury needs to understand the before and after. This type of calendar helps with that."
Using the calendar view allowed Holt to visually and factually tell the story to the jury of how his client had over 200 medical visits after the incident they were involved in, which wasn’t even comparable to the few visits the client had in the 10 years prior.
The clear, chronological format allowed him to highlight significant medical events, providing a comprehensive overview that supported his arguments.
Ultimately, it was Holt's ability to present a cohesive, well-documented medical narrative that significantly contributed to securing a $10 million verdict.
By demonstrating his thorough understanding of the case and effectively countering the defense's claims, he reinforced his client's position and secured a favorable outcome. “Using this type of technology significantly enhances our ability to persuade the jury,” Holt added.
Holt's success in this case highlights the transformative impact of EvenUp's medical chronologies on legal preparation and trial strategy.
By providing a clear, visual representation of complex medical data and enabling quick access to original records, EvenUp’s medical chronologies empower trial lawyers like Holt to focus on what matters most: advocating for their clients and securing the best possible outcomes.
