Video Documentation

Visible injuries such as lacerations, bruising, burns, and scarring should be photographed and/or video'd early on in a case. The earlier such injuries are visually documented the better. Progress of healing can then be documented with a series of videos or photographs.

The scene of an accident needs to be video'd and photographed as soon after the accident as possible, preferrably before the vehicles or machinery are removed. Made into exhibits, such photos and videos can demonstrate to a jury the full extent of the accident.

Re-enactment or reconstruction of the circumstances which caused injury can be telling evidence in personal injury cases.

Dr. Riggs works with professional photographers and scenario reconstructionists to ensure the client's injury mechanisms are clearly demonstrated in the simplest way possible. This makes it more likely that a jury will understand the forces involved and the actions which led to the injuries.
