What is a biomechanics expert witness?
Biomechanics expert witness candidates typically have experience in mechanical engineering and/or biomechanical engineering. Potential biomechanics expert witnesses often have advanced degrees (PhD, MD, PE), experience as a physical therapist or occupational therapist, or in exercise science. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, the lead attorney may request the biomechanics expert have prior testimony experience.
What types of cases require a biomechanics expert witness?
A biomechanics expert could provide expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent litigation or a trade secret dispute, or a proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). A biomechanical engineering expert could also be called in for a vehicle collision accident reconstruction, product liability, personal injury causation, or failure analysis project.
