Complex Product Liability Case Leads To Successful Settlement
A client was tragically killed when the grinder box he was working on short circuited and closed on his body. The grinder box's electronics system had been repeatedly exposed to water and weather, causing it to open and close without warning.

Challenge
The challenge in this case was to clearly explain what happened to the client in a complex environment involving the machinery. Highlighting the water damage to the board was also a critical factor. With the tragic death of the client, it was essential to create a presentation that worked both with and without a character. Allowing the audience to visualize what occurred behind the scenes provided a level of understanding that words on a page alone could not achieve.
Visual Strategy
By working closely with experts, analyzing data from the machinery, and collaborating with attorneys, the visual strategy focused on making the complex clear—demonstrating that the incident was avoidable despite the many moving parts involved. Highlighting the water damage and visually contrasting what actually happened with what could have happened were key elements. This approach set Iconographics' animation up for success in effectively supporting the client.

Testimonial
"Using a forensic animation at trial was a game-changer for our case. It allowed us to present complex information in a way that was easy for the jury to understand. The ability to see the sequence of events recreated in 3D gave the jurors a deeper understanding of the case facts, leaving little room for misinterpretation. It also strengthened our expert testimony by visually corroborating their analysis." -Anne Dieruf Jordan law
