A crane operator was transporting steel beams, when suddenly the steel beam fell due to negligence of the construction manager and crushed the cab of the crane, causing severe injuries to the operator’s entire body. Although the construction company was responsible for the safety of the site, they still disputed damages.
Challenge
The company stated that it was the responsibility of the Plaintiff to ensure the safety of the crane and surrounding work area, however ultimately the Defense was liable. This is where MediVisuals + High Impact came in to prove liability and show the incident as it occurred.

Approach
Using accurate scans of the construction site, our talented team of forensic animators created a visual that:
-
01
Demonstrated the mechanism of injury and how the site was improperly set up.
-
02
Illustrated the severity of the incident, helping the jury empathize with the Plaintiff.
-
03
Animated the story in an easy-to-understand manner, leaving no room for argument of liability.

Result
The animations we created of the incident helped tell a clear story of how the circumstances of the incident occurred. In turn, Mr. Stephenson was able to win over the jury’s favor and received a monetary reward for his client much larger than what was offered in mediation.
“The visual images were used to show the totality of the injuries that occurred, as well as negligence in the construction area. The animations created by MediVisuals + High Impact helped clarify the circumstances of the event.”
