Modern technology has opened up entirely new fields of investigation into all manner of the human life. One of the most promising scientific areas, with relation to accident law, is biomechanical engineering. Biomechanical engineers study the way the human body responds to various internal and external loads and pressures. The practical application of this study is that these engineers can often use their expertise to reconstruct what happened in an accident.
The human body, like all physical objects, obeys certain rules and laws when interacting with the world around it. In the case of an accident the human body responds to the forces and traumas involved in the accident in certain predictable ways. For example, depending on how a loan is applied to a bone, the bone will fracture in one of a very small set of well-defined ways. Take a look at the following video for more information.
In the case of a trial involving major injuries to a victim, often times the victims’ attorney team will call an expert witnesses, such as biomechanical engineers.
