Case Study: Gallagher & Kennedy achieves a favorable settlement in a helicopter crash case with Kitchen Sink Studios computer animation

Gallagher & Kennedy uses Kitchen Sink Studios to help resolve a helicopter crash case with an undisclosed settlement for 4 victims

Gallagher & Kennedy, a law firm, faced the challenge of resolving a complex lawsuit stemming from a tragic mid-air helicopter collision in Phoenix. They needed to clearly demonstrate how the incident occurred to achieve a settlement for their clients, the victims' families. They engaged the vendor Kitchen Sink Studios to create a detailed computer-animated video re-enactment.

Kitchen Sink Studios developed a scientifically accurate 3D animation based on radar data, audio, and physical evidence. This compelling visualization provided multiple vantage points of the crash and was used throughout mediation. The solution implemented by Kitchen Sink Studios was critical in achieving an undisclosed settlement for the plaintiffs' families, with the law firm crediting the animation as being determinative in the case's resolution.
