In a personal-injury case that resulted in a favorable settlement outcome for the firm, a passenger seated inside a parked vehicle suffered multiple traumatic injuries after a speeding driver—later determined to be under the influence—lost control and crashed head-on into a stationary sedan in a quiet residential neighborhood. The force of the impact pushed the parked vehicle backward into the curb and then into a neighboring yard. For attorneys preparing a settlement package, demonstrating how the collision unfolded and the significant injuries that followed becomes essential when negotiating with insurers and presenting the damages narrative during mediation.

The law firm retained MotionLit to produce Accident and Mechanism-of-Injury animations that reconstruct the event from start to finish, beginning with the environmental layout of the residential street. The presentation shows the parked sedan positioned at the curb under nighttime lighting, then introduces the approaching vehicle as it enters the frame at excessive speed. The animation depicts the loss of control, the drift toward the curb lane, and the moment of impact as the defendant’s vehicle strikes the parked car head-on, propelling it backward and forcing the passenger forward within the cabin. The rendered sequence captures the abrupt jolt, forward movement, and interior force patterns, giving viewers an organized understanding of how the vehicle reacted to the collision and how the passenger was affected.

Once the external sequence is established, the animation transitions into the injury mechanics, showing how the interior movements and sudden directional changes contributed to the passenger’s injuries. The forces portrayed led to traumatic brain trauma consistent with TBI, facial injuries such as a deviated septum, ear lacerations caused by interior contact, and blunt-force trauma to the knee affecting the patella. Each injury is integrated within the broader motion sequence, helping the viewer follow how the event’s progression translated into the physical harm documented in the case.

To support the firm in communicating the full extent of damages during settlement discussions, the animation concludes with a comprehensive visual summary of all rendered injuries. This final recap provides a cohesive reference point that strengthens the damages claim and elevates the overall case presentation.
