This one-hour class, The Fascinating Field of Biomechanical Engineering, introduces legal professionals to the field of biomechanics/biomechanical engineering. The course is given from the perspective of a biomechanical engineer with more than 20 years of experience in the field. Our biomechanical engineers will share the broad array of analytical tools and techniques used to understand the dynamics and mechanics of an injury or accidental event.

The class will cover several areas, including:

• The basics of biomechanics
• How biomechanical engineers differ from an M.D. in accident cases
• Qualifications and training in biomechanical engineering
• The role of biomechanics in forensics and accident reconstruction
• How forces acting on the human body during an accident can lead to specific injuries, enabling lawyers to assess the validity of injury claims

The objective of the class is to give both new and experienced attorneys information that they can immediately utilize in their practices.
