Computer simulations
can help a jury understand complex situations through accurate visual representation.
Studies have shown that juror retention of facts is greatly improved by visual
presentation as opposed to lengthy and complex verbal testimony.
Forensic animation allows the participants in a trial to better visualize
how events took place. A technically accurate simulation depends on highly
skilled engineers recreating the scene based on known information, such as
the size and speed of vehicles, the height and location of obstructions, and
the illumination and lighting at the time of the event.
If you are presented with a computer simulation that may not accurately represent the facts of a case, our expert engineers can review the source documents that underlie the 3D model and digital animation to assess whether or not the simulation is consistent with basic principles of physics and the physical evidence.
