Biomechanical Engineering

The study of the response and behavior of physical stresses placed upon the human body, such as bone fractures or soft tissue injuries, is defined as biomechanical engineering. This engineering discipline combines mechanical engineering principles with knowledge and understanding of the anatomical and physiological aspects of the human body and is typically crucial when liability determination and court testimony are required.

Bioengineering incorporates all engineering aspects and physics (electrical and mechanical) and applies them to biological and medical systems. This discipline incorporates the sub-field of biomechanics and also includes areas such as medical electronics and devices, including the design and study of the operation of devices such as spark-gap coagulators, oxymeters, plethysmographs, and surgical tool design and function.

When A Body of Knowledge Means Knowledge of the Body and Its Responses

Proven repeatedly in the courtroom, Bison’s combination of Bioengineering, Biomechanical, and Accident Reconstruction accreditation enables it to forensically determine the causative forces of an injury. This process bridges the gap between medical opinions and engineering analyses to provide definitive evidence of whether the accident substantiates the injury for cases involving:

• Low-Speed Vehicular Impact Analysis
• Worker’s Comp and Work-related Injuries
• Personal Injury
• Vehicle Rollovers and Occupant Ejections
• Airbag and Seat Belt Fatalities
• Elevator Failures
• Ladder and Stairwell Falls
• Medical Electronics and Devices
• Any Personal Injury Incident
