After surviving a daunting fall from a frightening height, a construction worker sought compensation for the invasive surgeries he underwent because of the OSHA violations that occurred on his work site. Upon hearing the recount of events and assessing medical records, the representing attorney knew that if appropriate and substantial figures were to be attained on behalf of his client, visual media would need to be created and employed during the litigation process.

DK Global’s creative team was tasked with conveying the seriousness of the OSHA violations that occurred and explain how this negligence on the part of the employer led to the necessity of several invasive and physically taxing surgical procedures for the Plaintiff. To effectively explain the OSHA violations, a series of animated stills were created that were clearly labeled with the status of the worksite in contrast to current OSHA guidelines. The construction equipment was reconstructed to demonstrate that the scaffolding was damaged and did not have the ability to support the Plaintiff as it did not have hand rails, was unaffixed to a permanent structure and was sitting on unlocked wheels. Furthermore, the Plaintiff was expected to scale this dangerous structure without being provided a compulsory hard hat.

Following this detailed information, the jury was presented with a comprehensive animation that thoroughly explained the complex nature of the surgical procedures performed in an easily understandable manner. Operative Reports and x-rays were dissected and used as a tool to ensure that all pertinent anatomy and procedures were appropriately labeled. Three-dimensional incisions were shown being made, followed by the insertion and affixation of hardware, rods, and screws. The animation then culminated with the Plaintiff’s graphic x-ray that detailed the final position of the inserted materials, providing the viewer with a telling image that detailed the invasiveness of the surgeries performed.

Armed with these cutting-edge visuals, the representing attorney could successfully litigate on behalf of his client, acquiring justice through the acquisition of a substantial monetary figure, allowing the Plaintiff to take the time he needed to recover without worrying about the costly medical bills he had accrued. Likewise, the attorney could advocate on behalf of those construction workers who were expected to work in dangerous working conditions by encouraging employers to adhere to all OSHA guidelines and regulations.
