A police officer was struck and severely injured while riding his motorcycle. The multiple, life-changing injuries he sustained included a broken and dislocated elbow, broken wrists, and six broken ribs - among many more injuries throughout his body. After initial treatment and surgery, his physician stated he would probably never be able to work as a full-time police officer again. To assist in obtaining justice for their client, attorneys Ryan Casey and Adam Shea of Panish Shea & Boyle, LLP, reached out to DK Global for a presentation that would clearly explain the damages sustained and the multiple surgeries needed to correct them.

Our team created an animation that depicted a 3D character model of a police officer, showing first the traumatic brain injury, nasal fractures, scalp laceration and cervical spine injuries that the Plaintiff sustained as a result of the incident. The animation continues to summarize the remaining damages, highlighting and labeling each – from a thyroid cartilage fracture to multiple rib fractures, to right forearm fractures, lacerations on the officer’s hands and knees, wrist and elbow fractures and dislocations, to multiple muscles, tendon, and soft tissue injuries. To further instill into the viewer the severity and multitude of these injuries, the animation shows a slide that labels all of the injuries at once, highlighting each in red. The medical animation then goes on to show the extensive hardware needed to correct the Plaintiff’s injuries, which were placed during several surgeries.

Using these medical animations to bring clarity to the extensive and devastating nature of the injuries, attorneys Casey and Shea achieved justice and a favorable result for their client.
