Scene Reconstruction Cases

Scene reconstructions might be prepared in 2D or 3D-renderings, physical models, animations, or virtual reality. JGPI’s forte is knowing which method will fit your objectives and budget best, and how to craft a deliverable that withstands withering scrutiny.

Contractor Liability

Plaintiff construction worker claimed he stepped off a ladder to retrieve a tool and fell into an improperly uncovered trash chute hole. JGPI’s reconstruction convinced him and his lawyer that his story would fail miserably at trial.

The case settled during the pre-trial hearing for a fraction of his original demand.

Officer-Involved Shooting

The estate of man shot by police at his mobile home alleged he was the victim of excessive force. At issue was what one victim could see through an open front door. JGPI accurately reconstructed her very limited ability to see outside and demonstrated she could not have seen what she claimed was excessive force.

The case settled without subjecting officers to a civil trial.

Military War Crime

The so-called “Haditha massacre” in Iraq claimed 24 civilian lives. The only Defendant facing trial was the USMC NCO squad leader. Conflicting testimony by subordinates who were granted immunity from prosecution could not resolve squad member locations in a house where 8 civilians were killed. JGPI interviewed all squad members and reconstructed this scene to track their movements.

Defendant pleaded guilty to dereliction of duty and was discharged with no jail time.

Premises Liability

Plaintiff claimed she fell off the stage after a presentation because she couldn't differentiate between the floor and a wheeled service cart draped in black right next to the stage in subdued light. JGPI’s 3D-reconstruction simulated the lighting change that hindered her vision.

The case successfully settled after mediation.
