I cant help but ponder the amount, the actual number, of words said in a hour during a jury trial. the proper words can issue the most powerful images and consequently emotions. Of course words used wrong can be boring. A personal injury attorney then , has quite a big challenge. He needs to often educate the jury on a scientific subject, like accident reconstruction.

In a complex situation words alone are not adequate. On the other end of the spectrum, too many exhibits makes the trial chaotic, detracting from the gravity of the situation. The attorney must balance words with exhibits. Enlarged photographs are useful, as are properly enlarged medical transcripts. A visually colorful time line can be essential, moreso in a medical malpractice suit.

In an accident based on a construction accident the lawyer may want a model built, to simulate the scene where his client was injured. Sometimes the thinsg that are tangible work better than photos.
