Forensic Visualization
Forensic visualization aids attorneys through scientifically accurate reconstructions of incidents or accidents.
Recent consumer behavior studies have found that, “Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to just 10% when reading it in text.” Our visualizations helps investigators and attorneys convey the complexities of a case in a format that jurors can easily and quickly comprehend.
Knott Laboratory offers a unique combination of forensic engineers and visualization experts working together. This allows us to create visualizations based on accurate data and expert engineering calculations, exceeding both engineering and legal standards. Our visualizations consistently pass Daubert motions and are presented successfully in state and federal court.
