Mendoza and Kayfetz Tag-Team to Present Dramatic Hi-Tech Visuals at March SCA
By Bryan Harrison
Association News Network, Inc.

A full-house of industry adjusters and vendors were treated to an impressive presentation by accident recreation speciaiists Jorge Mendoza, of Litigation Animation, Inc. and Paul Kayfetz, of Paul Kayfetz, Inc., at the March 13, 2008 luncheon meeting of the Sacramento Claims Association.

The duo enthralled the crowd of about 100 claims industry professionals with their high-tech video illustrations. Mr. Mendoza demonstrated some of the computer animation recreations he specializes in, while Kayfetz gave a glimpse into how his video simulations are made.

They both showed various alternate perspectives of some accident scenes - sometimes even simultaneous side-view, aerial view and driver’s view on sub-screens. 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.

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

Mr. Mendoza, was joined by his son, Alex, with whom he works.
