Accident Reconstruction Animations
Ground vehicle accident animation is where it all began for us. Much of Demonstratives' staff, then the litigation support group of Engineering Animation, Inc. (EAI), created 3D animations using sophisticated ground vehicle motion simulation data with tools EAI was developing in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. These data visualization and collection tools were applied to 3D animations depicting vehicle rollovers after tire failures, complex trucking accidents and most famously, the reconstruction of the accident that took Princess Diana’s life in a tunnel in Paris, France.
Today, Demonstratives can create an accident reconstruction 3D animation for a wide range of accident scenarios. The vehicle accident reconstruction animation works to support the ground vehicle accident construction reconstructionist. Demonstratives expertise contributes to ground vehicle accident cases in the areas of vehicle motion, occupant motion, limited visibility and injury depiction.
