study of biomechanics may be applied to several industries; attorneys often seek the expertise of a biomechanics expert witness for personal injury, premises liability, or product liability cases. Biomechanics refers to mechanical engineering in relation to biological movement, such as the creation of medical equipment, sports equipment, and industrial machinery utilized by onsite employees. Since biomechanics concerns the compatibility between humans and mechanical engineering, an error in the field may cause unforeseen issues with safety, which may result in problems with health or injuries, as well as potential lawsuits.
Biomechanics consulting may be required in the event of an accident related to mechanical engineering, whether it concerns an industrial employee or the misuse of a mechanical product by a consumer. Such incidents may require the biomechanics expert witness to provide an expert opinion based on an accident investigation and reconstruction as a means of determining the source of the problem.
Biomechanical expert witnesses are often knowledgeable in the automotive industry, as biomechanics is a major factor in the design, creation, and engineering of automotive vehicles. Because these products must accommodate the driver, a failure to implement the proper biomechanics may result in vehicular accidents. Medical biomechanics is also important within the healthcare industry, as the medical equipment must be designed to meet the needs of each patient.
