Rollovers
Rollover crashes may produce complex occupant motions, regardless of whether there are ejections. In those rollover events involving multiple occupants, interaction among occupants can affect motion and injury potential. Trajectory analysis of an ejected occupant may indicate the ejection point in the rollover sequence.

Airbags
In crashes involving airbag issues, BRC is often asked to analyze occupant seating positions, restraint use/non-use, occupant proximity to an airbag, and other related issues, to evaluate whether or how an injury was caused due to contact with a deployed airbag. There could also be a question related to injuries

Side Impacts
Side impacts may involve a “T-Bone” type impact configuration or many other variations. Depending on the point(s) of impact, it is not unusual for vehicle rotation to result from an initial impact, which can increase the complexity of occupant motion and an injury causation analysis. In side impacts involving multiple occupants,

Rear Impacts
High speed rear impacts can result in different types of injuries which may vary depending on occupant physical characteristics, restraint system type, usage, etc. In high speed rear impact crashes, there may be issues regarding the design of the seatback as it pertains to injury potential or injury causation.

Frontal Impacts
In high speed frontal impact crashes, there may be a question of whether the injury potential would have been different in the presence of a deployed airbag or some other variation in restraint or vehicle design. BRC is experienced in analyzing frontal crashes with vehicles, poles, trees, and other fixed or moveable objects.
