Low Speed Impact Analysis And Biomechanical Services

Biomechanical analysis has become increasingly important in the settlement of product and personal injury cases. AMBR has developed a network of expert biomechanical consultants specializing in all aspects of accident investigation and reconstruction, slip and falls, swimming, diving, sports activities, industrial tasks, mining operations and vehicle incidents. These studies assess and analyze the various physiological responses of and forces to the human body to identify what areas of the body are most likely to be traumatized.

The most common biomechanical study used by automobile insurance adjusters is the low speed impact study. This study is limited in scope but provides the claims professional with credible analysis of the causal relationship between the impact and alleged medical presentations. However, from time to time the claims professional is in need of more in-depth analysis to support the claims settlement process, therefore the following scope of services are available through AMBR biomechanical consultants.

How It Works

The claims professional submits a Biomechanical Review Form with specific questions to be addressed by the biomechanical consultant. AMBR identifies the appropriate consultant based on the request. AMBR submits all requisite information to the consultant, coordinates the case through completion, and returns the final product to the claims professional.
