CALL 24/7We are pleased to share that Greg Monforton, co-founding partner of Greg Monforton & Partners, and Francesca Provenzano, an associate at our firm, have co-authored a feature article in the Spring 2026 issue of The Litigator, the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association’s flagship publication.
Their shared efforts in this article, “Objectifying the Subjective: The Use of Demonstrative Evidence in Chronic Pain Cases,” address a challenge that plaintiff’s lawyers know all too well: how do you prove a client’s pain is real if there’s no fracture on an X-ray, no visible scar, nothing a jury can see visually and understand?
Greg and Francesca answer that question with a practical, well-researched look at demonstrative evidence, from treatment charts and vehicle damage photos to day-in-the-life videos and computer-generated animation, and how each tool can help a jury see what an injury has actually taken from someone. Drawing on case law from across Ontario and Canada, they lay out when this kind of evidence holds up in court and offer clear, hands-on guidance for using it well, right down to the opening statement, where a jury’s first impression of a case often takes shape.
This published piece is the kind of article that can only come from lawyers who have experienced this challenge firsthand, in trial after trial, working to make an invisible injury visible to twelve people who have never met the victim.
Congratulations to Greg and Francesca on this well-deserved recognition.
We’re proud to see their work reach lawyers across the province.
