Blood Clogs Arachnoid Granules

This video was used to demonstrate how bleeding due to injury had impeded the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. The video demonstrates how blood can clot in the pathways in the brain normally used by the fluid, resulting in additional pressure in the brain which caused persistent severe migraine headaches and a reduced quality of life.

Shunt Drainage

This video demonstrates the use of a shunt to regulate and relieve pressure in the brain due to the blocked cerebrospinal fluid flow.

Boat Collision

The circumstances leading to a collision between a small john boat and a large speedboat were recreated using this animation, which presented the accident from several angles, including from the point of view of nearby witnesses.

Ford Explorer Rollover

This video was used to demonstrate from several points of view the effects of the instability of the Ford Explorer SUV and the subsequent loss of control.

Golf Cart Collision

This video was used to demonstrate the circumstances that led up to a dump truck colliding with a golf cart as it attempted to cross the road.  The video demonstrates the actual circumstances of the accident as well as alternate scenarios which demonstrate how a different reaction on the part of the dump truck could have avoided the collision.

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 pilotsi 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 clientis 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.

Crane Construction Accident

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.
