Why use computer simulations? Computer simulations influence juries - plain and simple.

Simulations Engage Computer simulations pull the jury into the scene and allow them to experience the incident firsthand. With the aid of a computer simulation, your expert's testimony is transformed from an abstract, oral presentation into a visual experience that jurors can relate to on an intellectual and, often times, emotional level.

	Put the jury in the cockpit of a EA-6B Prowler jet navigating through a narrow unmapped valley.
	Get behind the eyes of a driver swerving to avoid an out of control vehicle coming head on at high speeds.

Simulations Educate Computer simulations allow experts to communicate complex, technical processes to non-technical juries. With such visual tools, your expert not only educates, but interprets the complex as well. When juries are able to clearly understand and relate to the issues of your case, they are better able to keep their attention focused on the facts you are presenting and make informed decisions.

	Visually demonstrate how a small fracture in the joint of a drive train can cause the entire assembly to fail without tediously needing to explain complex auto mechanics.
	Illustrate how the nervous system communicates electric signals to the brain.

Simulations Illustrate Perspective Computer simulations allow you to show the jury not only the point of view of your client, but can also illustrate the incident from multiple viewing angles such as top-down and side views. They also allow you to communicate more abstract information such as reaction time more effectively than with verbal descriptions.

	Provide further perspective of the incident with a top-down, or "God's Eye", view.
	Communicate reaction time for “seconds to impact” with a time counter.

Simulations Introduce Alternatives Computer simulations give you the ability to go back to the incident and explore alternative, or "what if", scenarios - they allow you to demonstrate to the jury what the outcome of the situation could have been. Imagine how powerful your position becomes when you demonstrate how a life could have been saved had the proper safeguards been in place.

	Present a split screen showing how road delineators can significantly obstruct the view of oncoming traffic.
	Recreate a catastrophic incident. Had this road been closed during this dust storm, an accident could have been prevented.
