Biomechanics and Your Auto Accident Case

Biomechanics is a science which studies the temporal and spatial responses of various biologic solids and fluids. Researchers in this area of science are interested in determining how the human body responds to internal and external forces, especially as it relates to human injuries. Biomechanical engineers use all available evidence, primarily focusing on the human body itself, to reverse engineer a theory of the most likely scenario to have caused a particular injury to the human body.

An injury causation analysis is used by biomechanical engineers to effectively rule out certain claimed causes of a particular injury. The engineers use such factors as fracture patterns and biologic responses to help determine whether or not witness testimony is supported by the physical evidence encountered in the case.

When investigating major automobile accidents, for example, the best attorneys employ expert witnesses in order to help establish the facts of the case. This is one of the reasons that any Salt Lake City resident who is injured in a major automobile accident is best to work with and experienced attorney. With today’s rapidly advancing technology, an inexperienced attorney may find himself or herself if up against a well prepared defense. If the attorney is not ready to overwhelmingly prove the case, complications can certainly result. If you, or someone you know, have been injured in a serious auto accident in Utah, please call the at Hirschi Steele & Baer, PLLC at 801-990-0500 or contact us online today. We have the experience and expertise needed to help you get the compensation you deserve.
