TOPIC: Investigating Injury Disputes in Motorcycle Crashes Using Biomechanics

Biomechanics is a scientific field that applies engineering and physics principles to the human body and deals with the effects of forces and motion on the body. When a collision occurs between a motorcycle and, for example, another vehicle, the motorcyclist can experience several impacts against that vehicle, the ground, and/or other surfaces, each having the potential to result in injury. In this presentation, Dr. Albert introduces the audience to the field of biomechanics and the scientific process for conducting a biomechanical investigation in the context of personal injury litigation, and applies that scientific process to a case example involving a motorcycle collision.

ABOUT Dr. Carolyne Albert

Dr. Carolyne Albert is a mechanical engineer with expertise in orthopedic biomechanics. She has over 20 years of experience in biomedical and materials engineering research and is an adjunct research professor of biomechanics at Marquette University. Dr. Albert has presented her research at national and international scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including the Journal of Biomechanics, Bone, Clinical Biomechanics, and the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. As a biomechanics expert at Robson Forensic Inc., Dr. Albert uses a scientific approach to injury causation analysis, applying principles of biomechanics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials to determine the cause of injuries in a variety of contexts, including motor vehicle collisions.
