The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) has forensic biomechanical engineers who serve as expert witnesses during litigation.
What is a Forensic Biomechanical Engineer?
A forensic biomechanical engineer uses the concepts and principles of biomechanics to aid in legal investigations where personal injury or even death has occurred. The engineers serve as expert witnesses and use their understanding of mechanics, engineering, and the human body to reconstruct events and determine the likelihood of specific events occurring. As an expert witness, an engineer evaluates medical records, witness statements, and physical evidence and facts from the scene to provide an objective opinion on the likelihood of specific injuries occurring from particular conditions.
About Our Forensic Biomechanical Engineers
Our forensic biomechanics engineers can be a critical part of legal proceedings where there are questions regarding the plausibility and extent of personal injury or death in the aftermath of an accident. Our expert witness services extend to a wide range of events, including slips, trips, falls, vehicle accidents, and product failures. Our objective opinion is an asset in the courtroom, as it can inform legal professionals and jurors of the validity or likelihood of specific claims, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding the facts and scientific details of a case. We determine injury causation for various types of injuries, including:
- Lower and upper extremity injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
Why are Expert Witnesses Important in Legal Proceedings?
Expert witnesses simplify otherwise highly technical and complex subjects and concepts in a courtroom. During legal proceedings, expert witnesses take the witness stand under oath and offer their professional opinion as they answer questions posed by the prosecution and defense. The presence of an expert witness can be invaluable in lawsuits where the jury may not be very familiar with the information being discussed.
