DK Global

DK Global is a litigation visual strategy and medical animation studio founded in 1998 by Michael Caldwell in Redlands, California. It creates courtroom demonstratives, trial graphics, medical illustrations and forensic reconstructions for legal professionals. Its work translates complex anatomical injuries, scientific data and mechanical evidence into visual presentations for mediation, settlement negotiations and trial.

The studio serves civil plaintiff and defense counsel across personal injury, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and product liability matters. Its litigation work also encompasses commercial trucking collisions and industrial safety incidents. Visual consulting connects case evaluation and storyboard development with the production of animations, exhibits and documentary material.

Medical and forensic visualization

Medical projects draw on CT scans, MRI studies, diagnostic images and operative reports to construct anatomical models and illustrate injuries and treatment. Subjects include orthopedic hardware installation, neurological procedures, cardiovascular injuries, craniotomies, spinal fusion and amputations. The studio also produces mechanism of injury sequences, traumatic brain injury presentations, anatomical diagrams and colorized or enhanced medical imagery.

Accident reconstructions combine technical animation with case evidence such as vehicle event data recorder inputs, physical scene measurements, surveillance footage and drone photogrammetry. These materials support visual explanations of vehicle collisions, driver speed and reaction times, industrial machinery failures, slip-and-fall biomechanics and product liability scenarios. Point cloud scene mapping and physics-based trajectory modeling form part of its reconstruction capabilities.

Media for legal proceedings

Beyond animation, DK Global produces Day-in-the-Life documentaries, settlement demand packages, custom timelines, medical billing and injury graphics, multimedia trial boards and courtroom presentation packages. It also offers audio and surveillance video enhancement. Its visual strategy services include coordination with testifying medical and biomechanical experts and consulting focused on admissibility.

The company brings together artists, certified medical illustrators, visual consultants and project managers. Its published case features cover both plaintiff and defense matters, including collision reconstruction, surgical visualization, industrial accident analysis and documentary presentations about the effects of serious injury.
