Injury claims from rideshare crashes are often underestimated. Defense attorneys argue that low speed equals low damage. But the truth is, even a 10-mph crash can cause serious biomechanical harm. Science—and the human body—tells a more complex story.

MotionLit’s Mechanism of Injury (MOI) animations make that story visible. Using diagnostics, imaging, and physician insight, we craft visuals that demonstrate how crash forces travel through the body and lead to injury. Whether it’s hyperextension of the neck from a sudden stop or rotational force causing occipital nerve trauma, our animations turn abstract injury claims into undeniable visual proof.

In a recent case, a Lyft passenger suffered a traumatic brain injury and cervical disc damage after a broadside collision. The defense questioned the severity of injury, citing minor property damage. Our animation illustrated the moment of impact, traced the force path through the neck and skull, and showed how rotational acceleration caused diffuse axonal injury. The visuals were combined with annotated MRI overlays and a voiceover from the plaintiff’s treating neurologist. Within weeks, a $100K offer grew to a $450K settlement.

Biomechanical storytelling is about showing—not telling. Linear acceleration, flexion-extension, and axial compression become visible in our MOI graphics. Attorneys use these tools to support their experts, strengthen causation arguments, and eliminate doubt about so-called “soft tissue” injuries.
