A recently launched presentation service for courtroom evidence has notched up four consecutive wins in its first four deployments, according to its developer, TheVisualAid.com.
VisualAid, which helps law firms compile and present evidence in digital formats, claims its services have helped secure a total of £10m of damages for claimants.
The service encompasses storage and presentation of 'day in the life' video footage of personal injury claimants; digital photographs, medical reports and most other relevant case documents specific to a client's circumstances.
After being instructed by a law firm, the company's film crew begin filming at the family home to ensure video content accurately reflects the client's circumstances.
The video is then edited to the needs of the solicitor and is reviewed in a raw form by the barrister involved in the case.
The VisualAid concept was developed by Michael Moran, a former cameraman and producer for Granada TV, and his father Andrew Moran, a QC who practices from Byrom Street Chambers in Manchester.
Manchester-based firm Pannone and Partners Solicitors used VisualAid to help win a case involving a young girl diagnosed with having spastic quadriplegia, microcephaly, recurrent chest and urinary infections and left hip migration.
Jenny Urwin, a partner in the firm's clinical negligence department, said: "My clients were readily put at ease by VisualAid's sensitive and caring approach in recording what are essentially personal moments."
She added: "At all times their aim was to provide a bespoke video in accordance with our requirements and they succeeded." Unwin's case settled out of court for £2m.
