The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) has expertise in forensic biomechanics that can aid in our clients’ legal proceedings. Lawsuits are often high stress engagements where a third-party perspective can be invaluable in determining truth.
What is Forensic Biomechanics?
Forensic biomechanics uses the principles of biomechanical engineering to aid in litigation where biomechanics experts are needed to determine if specific conditions could result in specific injury or injuries. Forensic biomechanics professionals use their knowledge of biomechanics and engineering to analyze evidence and data to develop complex computer models that reconstruct the events leading to an incident or accident.
The information gathered by forensic biomechanical engineers can be the exact evidence needed to determine facts of a situation in legal proceedings. They can determine liability in various situations, including those involving criminal investigations, defective products, or medical malpractice.
More About Our Biomechanics Services
Our highly trained and experienced biomechanics engineers use their knowledge of kinetics in conjunction with our advanced computer modeling services to analyze how the human body reacts to foreign forces acting upon it. We use scientific principles and facts to determine if the injuries or death claimed to be caused by specific circumstances are indeed biomechanically possible. Our forensic biomechanics services can uncover the causes of a wide range of injures, including:
- Concussions
- Brain lacerations and contusions
- Meniscus tears
- Intervertebral herniated discs
- Boney fractures
- Whiplash
- Femur fractures
- Ligament tears
Why are Forensic Biomechanics Important in Litigation?
Forensic biomechanics offer a unique advantage in the court room as they have the expertise to understand and communicate the relationship between external forces and the human body. Their education and experience allow them to explore the facts of a situation and hypothetical that can help determine the effects of specific events, or even the plausibility of the events occurring at all.
