Injury Causation Analysis
BRC employs full-time consultants who are physicians, most of whom also have engineering degrees, or who have a Ph.D. degree in engineering. They have extensive experience in accident investigation, human kinematics, and related physical sciences that allow them to determine the causal relationship between accident forces and injuries. In this service area, BRC Consultants are oftentimes designated as experts and asked to provide expert analysis and testimony during litigation proceedings. The types of incidents evaluated include, but are not limited to, both high and low velocity passenger vehicle collisions, slip and fall events, and accident events involving aircraft, bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, elevators, forklifts, tractor-trailers, trains, amusement park rides, power tools and light industrial equipment.
