Construction Worker Sues When Building Structure Collapses
Attorney Uses 3D Reconstruction Animation of Building To Show Jury How It Collapsed

Following his involvement in a sudden and unforeseeable construction accident, a demolition employee sought to hold the city responsible for building a structure that did not meet architectural codes. As the required 1.5 inch embedded joists were not used, but rather 5/8 inch joists, the structure was not capable of resisting the tension applied to it by his construction crew. This resulted in a ceiling collapse that fell directly on the employee, causing severe injury.

DK Global was asked, by the employee’s attorney, to recreate the sequence of events through the animation and application of special effects. The created simulation was used by the representing attorney to convey to the viewer that had the joists that were hung by unapproved hangers been attached according to code, directly to the vertical studs inside the walls, the Plaintiff’s injuries could have been prevented. Likewise, it proved that the city had built the building in negligence as it did not meet established building codes.

The representing attorney presented the compelling visual aid, assisting him in the acquisition of a notable settlement on behalf of the Plaintiff. Furthermore, it prompted the city to take special care to ensure that all established and proposed structures met required building codes, preventing the recurrence of such a tragic and unnecessary event.
