Biomechanical Document Review
Our Garrett Forensics’ biomechanical assessment of car accident, slip & fall injuries, workplace accidents, industrial accidents, etc., involves analyzing the forces and dynamics of the collision and their impact on the human body, to determine if the alleged injury was likely caused from the accident.
This review is available nationwide and provides a scientific understanding of the forces and mechanisms involved, helping to inform legal decisions, insurance claims, and medical treatment plans.
Our Process
At Garrett Forensics, our biomechanical document review follows a structured, evidence-based approach to ensure accurate and defensible conclusions. The process includes the following key phases:
1. Data Collection
We begin by gathering all relevant documentation and evidence related to the incident. This includes accident reports, photographs, vehicle damage assessments, medical records, witness statements, and any available surveillance or dashcam footage. This foundational data is critical for accurately reconstructing the event.
2. Collision Dynamics Analysis
Our experts examine the physical details of the event—such as vehicle speeds, directions of force, angles of impact, point of contact, and use or failure of safety features like seatbelts, airbags, and headrests. This helps us understand the mechanical environment that may have contributed to the injury.
3. Injury Documentation & Analysis
We assess the reported injuries by reviewing medical records, imaging, and clinical diagnoses. Each injury is evaluated for consistency with the physics of the incident, helping to establish whether the injury patterns align with what would be expected based on the event dynamics.
4. Biomechanical Modeling & Simulation
Using advanced computational tools and physical principles, we simulate the forces, accelerations, and motions acting on the body during the incident. These simulations help visualize how the body would have moved and where stresses or injuries are most likely to have occurred.
5. Injury Risk Assessment
We assess the likelihood of specific injuries occurring by analyzing occupant positioning, restraint usage, body mass, vehicle design, and crash severity. This quantitative analysis helps determine if the reported injuries fall within a reasonable range of expected outcomes.
6. Expert Opinion & Testimony
Upon completing our analysis, our biomechanical experts provide clear, scientifically grounded opinions regarding causation and injury plausibility. When necessary, our experts are available to provide consultation or testimony, helping insurance professionals make informed decisions based on objective biomechanical evidence.
