When it is necessary to determine whether or not a claimed injury is consistent with the claimed incident, biomechanics is playing a powerful role in today's insurance and legal industries.

Simply put, biomechanics is a science that combines the principles of mechanical engineering and the study of the human body allowing the biomechanical expert to understand how muscles, tissues, tendons and bones will react to a given force. Consequently, this science gives forensics a tool to answer the question, "Is there a mechanism for injury in the claimed incident?"

Biomechanics is ideal for cases involving low-speed collision injuries, slip/trip and falls, soft-tissue injuries, repetitive motion injuries, and various workers compensation claims. Please request a curriculum vitae of our expert in your area by contacting our corporate office.
