THE CHALLENGE
David Holt, partner at Smith Law Center, has spent the past 12 years advocating for his clients in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases.
As a trial lawyer, David Holt knows the importance of reviewing every medical record to understand his client's injuries and treatment history. However, manually sifting through a huge volume of documents took up a lot of time.

Before discovering EvenUp MedChrons™, Holt and his team relied on traditional methods to organize and present medical data. This meant creating PowerPoint presentations and even summarizing key points on whiteboards. The inefficiency and time-consuming nature of these methods pushed Holt to seek a better solution.
Pre-trial: Building a strong case strategy
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.
"My client saw dozens of clinicians. Any good trial lawyer worth their salt isn't going to put dozens of clinicians on the stand. The medical chronology helps me understand the most important medical opinions I need to present in court."

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.
“When dealing with TBI cases and thousands of medical records, having a clear, effective, and easily navigable medical chronology is absolutely crucial.”

During trial: Presenting a compelling, comprehensive case
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.
