Biomechanics

Biomechanics & Injury Causation

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. 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.
