How Car Crash Animations Can Support Your Case

Through a study regarding factors that impact juror recall, researchers found that individuals with higher short-term memory capacity, faster handwriting speed, and better-sustained attention spans recall more critical evidence. Integrating car crash animations into your case can help you mitigate any deficiencies jurors may have in these areas.

For instance, including a full-motion car crash recreation in your presentation could boost engagement, leading to jurors being more attentive throughout the proceedings. In turn, they’ll remember more of what you present to them, which can be particularly beneficial in long, drawn-out cases, as well as more complicated incidents involving more than two vehicles.

One of the biggest reasons to use car crash animations is because of their high likelihood of boosting recall. On average, people remember just 10% of the information they hear after 72 hours. Visuals alone have a retention rate of 35% after three days, and when you combine them with audio stimuli, recall soars to 65%. If jurors remember more of the pertinent details of a case, they will be able to make more informed decisions when rendering verdicts.

As an experienced attorney, you already know how to create a compelling argument and draw attention to critical facts of a case. Nevertheless, you can make your presentations even more engaging and memorable by supporting your statements with motion graphics.

A medium like 3D imagery will allow you to show jurors the exact details or events you are referencing. For example, instead of simply explaining that the other party ran a stop sign, you can show the chain of events that led up to a crash. High-quality visuals help prevent confusion when breaking down complex incidents and ensure jurors know precisely what points you are trying to make.

With visuals provided by MediVisuals + High Impact, you’ll be able to easily explain complex legal concepts such as: 

• Mechanism of injury (MOI)
• Chain of events
• Contributory factors
• Negligence

Animations and motion graphics aren’t just a great tool for explaining complicated topics, either. They are also incredibly versatile, which means you can leverage them regardless of which side of the aisle you are on. If you are representing the plaintiff, you can use visuals to paint a picture for jurors and showcase the extent of your client’s injuries. As a defense attorney, you can use graphics to reduce your client’s liability by highlighting confounding factors, such as a driving mistake made by the other party.
