It was 5:30 AM when Ted Wacker and Michelle Hemesath’s client was involved in a motor vehicle collision when he began his commute to work in Pasadena, California. Their client was struck on his motor scooter when the Defendant failed to yield the right-of-way as he attempted to turn left at an intersection. The Plaintiff sustained a considerable amount of injuries including lacerations to the spleen, rib fractures that created respiratory issues, and numerous spinal contusions. The TBW Law team partnered with DK Global to take their one-dimensional records and evidence and recreate them into 3D forensic reconstruction animations so that a jury can visualize the damages.

Surgical Presentations Create a Clearer Picture

The presentation began with a rendering of the Plaintiff and their injuries highlighted as the camera pans from head to toe. Injuries such as a flail chest, which affects respiration, or the Plaintiff’s splenic laceration would be difficult to visualize without an accompanying animation. DK Global also provided animations that depicted the invasive surgical procedures that the Plaintiff endured in order to recover from his injuries, including their splenic artery catheterization and embolization. The spleen’s function and corrective procedure may be confusing for a jury, but with the compelling visuals, Michelle and Ted were able to communicate to the jury and Defense that the Plaintiff’s injuries needed fair and just reparations.

With DK Global’s visuals, Ted Wacker and Michelle Hemesath of TBW Law were able to reach a $3.5 million settlement before trial.
