Forensic biomechanics

Forensic biomechanics is the application of biomechanical engineering science to litigation where biomechanical experts determine whether an accident was the cause of an alleged injury. (See "New York State Bar Association Bar Journal November/December 2010 - The Rise of Biomechanical Experts at Trial by Robert Glick, Esq. and Sean O'Loughlin, Esq.) Application of biomechanics to the analysis of an accident involves an accident reconstruction coupled with an analysis of the motions and forces affecting the people involved in the accident. ( See "New York State Bar Association Bar Journal November/December 2010 - The Rise of Biomechanical Experts at Trial by Robert Glick, Esq. and Sean O'Loughlin, Esq.) A biomechanical expert’s testimony on the motions and forces involved in an accident may be both relevant and probative on the issue of injury causation.
