FAI vs. Traditional Animation?

FAI uses animation to create strategic liability presentations for vehicle accident litigation. Using animation, without specialized support for incorporating it into a strategic presentation, is like launching a rocket without a guidance system. Your prospects for success are greatly reduced. With FAI, you get state-of-the-art animation, plus the most comprehensive, experienced and proven support available for developing successful liability presentations. Significant project effort is devoted to modeling the liability and developing the presentation strategy. Creating the animation graphics is an essential but less demanding part of the project. A strategic presentation is how you get what you want from animation. Our expertise in creating strategic presentations is what sets us apart from other animation options.

What Can You Expect To Accomplish With FAI?

At Mediation: We help you move the opposition toward a fair settlement by resetting their expectations on probable outcome. Validating your best liability position, and then demonstrating it in a strategic presentation, take away the opposition's unreasonable arguments. The risk of trial works against the opposition when you present them with a clear, credible and reasonable liability demonstration that will move a jury into seeing liability your way. It is our experience that FAI's mediation presentations prompt favorable liability movement of 15% to 35%, and occasionally more.

At Trial: We help you move the jury toward a favorable verdict by using the same strategic approach as at mediation. The clear, credible and reasonable liability demonstration validates your position. The strategic animation enables the jury to see beyond competing reconstruction opinions and conflicting witness testimony.

How Do You Identify Cases That Will Benefit From FAI?

Below is a non-exclusive list of the most common case types for which we help you achieve significantly improved outcomes at mediation and trial.

1. Questionable liability. For a plaintiff, the claim is not getting the respect it deserves. For a defendant, the weak liability claim is paired with an unreasonably high demand. Achieving a fair settlement requires resetting the opposition's expectations on probable outcome.
   
   
2. Conceded liability. Defendant's direct liability is practically conceded, but the existence or extent of contributory negligence is not clear. Plaintiffs want to exclude, while defendants want to establish, issues such as the following:
   
   
   • Plaintiff's speeding against posted limits or for conditions
     
     
   • Plaintiff's inattention or untimely reaction to potential hazard
     
     
   • Obstructions from traffic or environmental objects for defendant's line of sight
     
     
3. Independent of liability category, the case has other features that make a trial probable. With so much at risk, you cannot afford the opposition or jury being unclear about your reasonable liability position.
   
   
4. The liability case you thought you had has deteriorated during discovery. The expected settlement at mediation or verdict at trial is in jeopardy.
