Biomechanical Motions, Forces, Leverage in Accident Analyses

Biomechanical Motions, Forces, Leverage in Accident Analyses
Biomechanical Motions, Forces, and Leverage in Accident Analyses

This Webinar will discuss biomechanical motions, forces, and leverage in accident analyses. How changes in motions produce forces, and how a biomechanical engineer analyzes these forces to determine whether the injuries are consistent with the claims will be covered. This Webinar will also look at biomechanical motions, forces, and leverage in automotive and premises liability cases with premises liability examples such as slips/trips, seat failures, falls, etc. We will give an in-depth look at the accident that happened in Phoenix involving the first autonomous vehicle to pedestrian fatality and the future of self driving technologies.

Takeaways:
  • Forces are produced by changes in motion, and forces exerted at a distance can exert high leverage on body tissues.
  • High accelerations of unrestrained parts of the body can produce large forces, tissue overloads, and injuries.
  • Because of leverage, disc herniation injuries are more likely to be created by lifting than by low-speed rearend accidents.

HOW TO REGISTER:

Although there is no fee to attend, you must register so the IADC can plan accordingly for the number of interested participants. To register, log-in with your IADC username and password. Each participant must register individually as Zoom links will be specific to each participant. If you have never attended an IADC event before, please create a guest account where requested on this site.

We hope that you will join us for this exciting and informative program.

UPDATED: Your IADC Website Profile. Your member profiles include your links to any virtual IADC meeting for which you are registered. Go to your account, and when you click to view/edit your account, go to the “Meeting Participation” tab. There you’ll find “Upcoming Virtual Meetings/Virtual Links” which includes your Zoom link for each of your registered meetings.
