Truck Accident Illustrations

Truck accidents are on the rise in the U.S. According to data collected by the National Security Council, over 120,000 large trucks were involved in crashes in 2022. That represents an increase of 2.5% from 2021. When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a 5,000-pound SUV, the outcome can be devastating. When faced with resistance from trucking companies and insurance carriers to pay out claims, you need to present compelling evidence that leaves no doubt about who was at fault.

Advocacy Digital Media produces quality, high-resolution truck accident illustrations that can make your case even stronger and provide jurors with lasting impressions that will carry through their deliberations. That can only work in favor of your client.

How an Illustration Helps a Judge and Jury Visualize a Tractor-Trailer Crash

Truck accident illustrations are effective in helping jurors and judges responsible for reaching verdicts in litigated truck accident cases visualize the cause and impact of the crash between a big and a car. For example, when testifying in court, your expert witness may be able to enhance their testimony by utilizing an illustration of property damage to your client’s passenger car to explain how they reached certain determinations about how the truck wreck occurred. Additionally, you may be able to take a witness account of what occurred and depict it graphically, allowing them to use it as a visual representation when explaining what they saw occur.

While illustrations are effective in helping judges and jurors visualize what happened outside during a truck collision, they can also be effective for showing what happened inside your client’s vehicle and how they endured the impact. These illustrations can also show the various mechanical systems on the truck. For example, illustrations can show a tire’s condition before blowing out or how a passenger car might have looked once its roof caved in during an underride crash, shedding light on the fear the driver might have endured in that instance or their lack of survivability given the nature of the collision.

Additional illustrations for your case can also take on the form of infographics, calendars, survey-style property layouts, etc.—anything that can help bring data or facts to life and make them visually appealing or engaging so jurors will remember the presentation.

How Truck Collision Demonstratives Are Critical When Other Evidence Is Lacking

You won’t always have access to traffic or dash camera footage to support your case. A truck accident illustration can be effective at showing the at-fault party’s role in causing a crash. When you combine those illustrations with supporting witness testimony and other relevant forensic evidence, you’ll find that the truck accident renderings play a critical role in proving your case.

Additionally, truck crash illustrations can clarify size differences between the semi-rig and your client’s vehicles. This size comparison can be coupled with expert witness testimony to open the door for discussion of braking distance, blind spots, the gravity of injuries, and more. Illustrations are also of value in litigated tractor-trailer wreck cases for showing skid marks and tread patterns, both of which can help jurors draw the right conclusions about what happened.

How Lawyers Use Truck Accident Illustrations To Depict Injuries and Causation

When it comes to illustrations, our attorney clients have used them to depict a wide range of tractor-trailer crash causes, such as how a tractor-trailer operator:

• Hugged the center line and veered out of their lane, causing a sideswipe crash
• Failed to turn on their lights in low light conditions, which made it difficult for other motorists to see them

Additionally, illustrations can depict:

• Conditions of auto parts (like tires that blew out) that the trucker should have known about
• Comparisons of electronic data leading up to and during the crash

As for showing how injuries occurred, demonstratives like truck accident illustrations can show how a/an:

• Angled truck crash occurred, explaining injuries on one side of the body versus another
• T-bone accident could have permeated the passenger compartment and left a person with bone fractures and/or internal organ damage
• Real-end tractor-trailer crashes could have affected car riders differently, depending on their placement in the vehicle
