Specialties:
A biomechanical expert witness applies principles of mechanics to the study of biological systems, often in personal injury or product liability cases. They analyze how forces caused injuries.
Biomechanical experts are crucial in cases involving vehicle accidents, slip and falls, sports injuries, workplace incidents, and any case where bodily injury is involved.
Subspecialties include orthopedic biomechanics, sports biomechanics, forensic biomechanics, and occupational biomechanics. Each focuses on different aspects of human movement and injury.
A biomechanical expert can reconstruct the accident to determine the forces involved, helping to establish if and how the accident caused specific injuries claimed by parties.
Understanding human anatomy allows the expert to accurately assess how an incident could have resulted in specific injuries. This knowledge is key in establishing causation.
