Trial Animation & Accident-Reconstruction Video
A clear, cinematic reconstruction of how the injury happened — built from the case record, rendered in days with an AI-accelerated pipeline, and revised until it lands. Drop it in a demand package, play it at mediation, or pair it with an expert at trial.
What an incident-recreation video is
Words make an adjuster imagine the crash. A reconstruction makes them watch it. We take the case record your firm already has — incident and police reports, scene and vehicle photographs, witness and deposition accounts, medical records — and rebuild the mechanism of injury as a visual narrative: the approach, the impact, the forces on the body, the harm that followed.
Legacy animation studios quote six to eight weeks for this work. Our AI-accelerated production pipeline delivers in days, with human review at every step and your approval before anything is final — so a mediation moved up or a trial date pulled forward doesn't take the exhibit off the table.
Three deliverable formats
- Animation — a rendered video that plays in a demand package link, on a mediation screen, or in the courtroom.
- Interactive 3D — a scene your team can rotate and manipulate live on any screen, useful when questions come mid-presentation.
- Rendered still frames — high-resolution key frames for print: the demand letter, the mediation binder, a poster board.
Where the video wins
In the demand package
Demand-stage negotiation isn't governed by evidence rules — and it's where most case value is actually decided. A ninety-second reconstruction gives the adjuster, and the committee behind the adjuster, something no letter can.
At mediation
Playing the incident on screen resets the anchor. The other side's evaluation was built on a paper file; the video replaces the paper file with the event.
At trial
If your case is going to verdict and you need a recreation in front of a jury, we produce traditional expert-sponsored reconstructions — built to be laid in through your accident reconstructionist's or physician's testimony. Admissibility is always at the court's discretion; see our guide to demonstrative-evidence foundations for how sponsoring experts carry visual exhibits in.
Built from the record, checked against it
A reconstruction is only as strong as its tether to the file. Every visual choice traces to a record source, you review the cut against the file, and revision rounds are defined at kickoff — we revise until it lands within them. Nothing goes to the other side until you've approved it.
Stronger paired with the model
Most firms run both tools together: the video shows how it happened, the 3D-printed medical exhibit shows what it did — a physical model of the injury, printed from your client's own CT or MRI, sitting on the table while the video plays. Each case credit includes both.
Pricing
A single case credit is $10,000 and delivers the video and the 3D-printed model; a two-case pack is $18,000, and high-volume practices run a monthly retainer. For reference, a custom trial animation alone typically runs about $7,500 from a legacy studio — with a 6–8 week wait and no physical exhibit. Structured for case-cost recovery.

Frequently asked questions
What formats can the reconstruction be delivered in?
+
Three: a rendered video animation, an interactive 3D scene your team can rotate and manipulate on any screen, or high-resolution still frames for print — a demand package, a mediation binder, or a poster board.
What do you build the reconstruction from?
+
The case record your firm already has — incident and police reports, scene and vehicle photographs, witness and deposition accounts, medical records and imaging. We reconstruct the mechanism of injury from that record and you review it against the file before it goes anywhere.
Can I put the video in a demand package?
+
Yes — that's where it wins most often. Demand-stage negotiation isn't governed by evidence rules, and a short reconstruction gives the adjuster's committee something no letter can: they watch the incident happen.
Is an AI-assisted animation admissible in front of a jury?
+
If your case is going to verdict and you need a recreation in front of a jury, we produce traditional expert-sponsored reconstructions built to be laid in through your expert's testimony. Admissibility of any demonstrative is always at the court's discretion.
For the courtroom we produce expert-sponsored reconstructions; admissibility is always at the court's discretion.
