Injury Causation
The dynamics of a collision may be highly complex, leading to complex interactions between the occupants and their environment. Oftentimes it is crucial to understand how these interactions result in injury. The DELTA |v| Biomechanics team can help you understand what factors contribute to the diagnosed injuries.
- Collision Severity
- Occupant Compartment Intrusion
- Vehicle Rollover
- Occupant Ejection
- Pedestrian Collisions
- Occupant Restraint Usage
- Contribution of pre-existing conditions
Injury Risk
Our team can assess whether the conditions for a reported injury exist. Using available accident reconstruction analysis and assessment of available electronic data, occupant exposures can be investigated. Those exposures, along with known human tolerances, allow DELTA |v| to determine what injuries may be consistent with the incident. The biomechanics team relies on scientific and research-backed analysis techniques including:
- Occupant Kinematics Analysis
- Vehicle and Occupant Simulations
- Utilization of published literature and crash databases
- Contribution of pre-existing conditions
BIOMECHANICS FAQs
No, a complete biomechanics analysis will likely require an accident reconstruction investigation but DELTA |v| is equipped to meet your needs. The groundwork for investigating the biomechanics of a collision can be completed by our team or by another of our talented and experienced accident reconstructionist experts across the country.
A more thorough understanding of the diagnosed injuries, and how they relate to the incident, brings additional clarity to the investigation. The validity of injury claims allows for a better valuation of the case in front of you.
Are the injuries consistent with the event? When did the diagnosed injuries occur? Can the injuries tell us something about the nature or sequence of events?
Biomechanics is the study of how biological systems such as muscle, bone, and neurological tissue behave under mechanical loads and manipulation. Injury biomechanics focuses specifically on how and when these tissues fail.
We are happy to collaborate with your existing team of experts to provide biomechanics expertise to your case.
