Midwest Trial Services has been helping their clients with trials since 1998. We have complied a list of Case Studies to overview. We're as proud of our past as we are excited about our present. Here's some of the challenges we've faced and victories we've won over the years.
Case Study – Cruz vs. Wilson
Client: Strong Garner Bauer (plaintiff)
Midwest trial services helped create a night-time 3D accident reconstruction animation of a fatal automobile accident on highway 44. By working with Accident Reconstruction expert Bruno Schmidt and attorney Jeff Bauer of Strong Garner Bauer, MTS animators were able to re-create the accident from the defendant’s point of view. The animation help plaintiff’s argue the accident could have easily been avoided and that the defendant had ample time to see the plaintiff’s vehicle and avoid the collision. The animation helped the jurors visualize the accident and in essence put them behind the wheel of defendant’s vehicle.
