Exponent's biomechanics staff uses engineering and biomedical
science to explore the cause, nature, and severity of injuries.
Staff consultants use medical records, testing, computer modeling,
and extensive knowledge of human injury tolerance to determine
whether a claimed injury is consistent with a specific set
of actions or exposure to a specific accident environment.
