Paul Kayfetz teams up with animation expert Jorge Mendoza to demonstrate their effective recreations and how they are admitted into evidence.

The February meeting of the Central Coast Claims Association featured guest speaker Paul Kayfetz, of Paul Kayfetz, Inc. Mr. Kayfetz, along with his associate, Jorge Mendoza, of Litigation Animation, Inc., gave a dramatic visual presentation on the use of video simulation and computer animation in accident reconstruction and property damage loss cases.

The crowd of about 50 claims industry professionals was enthralled with the video illustrations. Mr. Kayfetz gave a glimpse into how these simulations are made, and showed various alternate perspectives of some accident scenes - sometimes even simultaneous side-view, aerial view and driver’s view on sub-screens.

Mr. Kayfetz explained the effectiveness they've experienced in getting these dramatic simulations admitted into evidence time and time again.

He tag-teamed with his associate, Jorge Mendoza, who demonstrated some of the computer animation recreations he specializes in. Together, they wowed the crowd with example after example of just how accurate they are able to be in illustrating what really happened, based on all evidence gathered.
