Welcome to Forensic Animation Studio. This site provides access to forensic animations that were used in civil or criminal litigation. They depict the facts of a motor vehicle accident in real time and in 3d.

​

Forensic animation provides the litigator with a tool that can be used for pre-trial negotiation, during opening argument, during trial to support the expert witness, and during final argument.

The forensic animation puts the viewer (jury/court) at the accident. It allows the one to see how the accident developed throw the eyes of the drivers and witnesses. It assists the jury determine fault in a motor vehicle accident like no other evidence.

When you view these actual case animations, notice the attention to detail and realism. They truly put you at the accident scene!

I have been producing forensic animations for over thirty-five years for state and federal courts, for criminal and civil cases.  One interesting animation - Kocina v Department of Navy, involves a head on collision between a navy vehicle a bus. It occurred in Subic Bay the Philippines on Mach 17, 1988. Agent Douglas Kocina (driver) and his partner were killed in the collision. Based on the Navy’s flawed investigation, Kocina’s widow was prevented from collecting $250,000 from the federal Public Safety Officer’s Benefits Program (PSOBP). On September 19, 1990, a federal appeal hearing was held in Medford, Oregon. The animation was presented and was instrumental in reversing the original decision. The determination of the federal appeals officer was:

   

      Based upon the testimony and the evidence presented, I find that the investigation conducted         by the Navy into the cause of the fatal accident which took Mr. Kocina's life was flawed in many         areas, but primarily in its conclusion that Agent Kocina's death was caused by negligence and           misconduct in the operation of his motor vehicle. To the contrary, I believe that evidence an               testimony presented at the hearing, with particular emphasis on the reconstruction of the                   accident by Don Webb, clearly shows that Agent Kocina was operating his vehicle in a safe                 manner when his car collided with a bus. Therefore, since Agent Kocina was on duty and was             fatally injured in the performance of his duty as required by the Act, I reverse the original finding       and rule that his survivors are entitled to the benefit to  be paid.

Forensic animations are cost-effective, realistic and accurate. If you have any question or are interested in a forensic animation for your case, please contact me.
