Mid-air Plane Collision

This animation was made to illustrate the views available to the two pilots involved in a mid-air collision in Greenwood, Indiana. The data used in positioning the two planes was taken directly from the radar tapes supplied by the FAA. This clip is an exterior view of the collision, but it was also rendered from both pilots’ point of view.

Occipital Nerve Injection

As part of his treatment for severe headaches following a car collision, our client received regular painful injections of anesthetic directly into his occipital nerve. We prepared this combination of live footage, anatomical models, and animation to illustrate that process. This exhibit proved particularly effective when we combined it with live footage of our client actually undergoing the injections.

1966 Indianapolis 500 Mile Race

When our client’s husband was killed by a wheel flying into the grandstands at the Indy 500, we searched for other incidents of wheels or car debris going into the stands. We found many such incidents documented in the Speedway’s records and its film library. The final seconds of this clip of the start of the 1966 race clearly show a wheel clearing the fence, where it struck a spectator in the back.

Automobile Collision

A police investigation of the head-on car collision that killed the husband of our client switched the actual pre-collision directions of the cars involved. Our expert accident reconstructionist prepared an elaborate storyboard of the true car positions down to tenths of seconds before and after the collision, from which we generated this animation of three views of accident. It was then used to convince police investigators they had incorrectly positioned the vehicles in their reports.

Crane Wrongful Death

A 60-feet-long steel I-beam used in highway bridge construction fell while being hoisted from a delivery truck and severely injured our client when it fell on his leg. Numerous issues such as witness sightlines, crane and truck placement, and the availability of other equipment at the scene necessitated the construction of this large scale model of the scene.

Aircraft cockpit

To adequately explain exactly why a plane crash happened we took this model of the plane cockpit into the courtroom. The fuselage was cut from an identical plane and the cockpit panel reconstructed with photographs.

Tire Blowout

A tire blowout on a local delivery truck caused the truck fall from a highway overpass after bouncing off of a guardrail. These models were constructed to explain the actual sequence of events in the accident, and the spatial relationships between the truck, tire and guardrail. The sectioned semi-tractor cab was mounted so that it collapsed for easy transport into the courtroom.
