Overview
BRC specializes in the analysis of the human body’s response to forces or other potentially harmful factors, in order to determine if or how injuries are caused.
BRC employs full-time consultants who are physicians, most of whom also have engineering degrees, or who have a Ph.D. degree in engineering. Our consultants have a wide range of medical specialties, and the ability to integrate the engineering and physics of a traumatic event along with the associated medical issues.
