How do attorneys effectively and persuasively litigate automobile collision cases? After collecting mountains of evidence and data, they need to communicate their arguments to a jury, a mediator, or the opposition — all of whom have limited attention spans. The information gathered from intricate tools like vehicles’ black boxes or LiDAR scanners are difficult for most to understand. Photographs and videos alone leave no room to convey elements that contributed to an accident, including human factors, line-of-sight, and speed. Thus, some of the most successful attorneys – both Plaintiff and Defense – use DK Global accident reconstruction animations, allowing them to maximize their case’s value and attain results faster.

In one instance, Ryan Casey and Adam Shea of Panish Shea Boyle & Ravipudi LLP represented the surviving family of a young man who died after an intoxicated driver of a 55,000-pound Freightliner smashed into his SUV. The truck’s event data recorder showed the driver took a full ten seconds after the collision to hit the brakes. While the Defense admitted liability early in the case, they disputed whether punitive damages were justified. To show the degree of the Defendant’s impairment and warrant punitive damages, Ryan and Adam worked with DK Global to create an accident reconstruction animation using the Defendant’s black box data. The two presented the reconstruction to a jury, attained a $5M verdict, and showed just how grossly negligent the Defendant was, justifying the need for punitive damages.
