Vector Dynamics^® evaluates the circumstances of an accident to include: claimant or insured information, photos of the damage and the accident scene, the property damage estimates, the First Report of Loss (Accord Form) and in some cases, the medical records. If a worker’s compensation or general liability claim, we also evaluate the objects involved in the accident (ladder, chair, etc.) Vector Dynamics^® uses this information to calculate the forces, torques, and accelerations experienced by the claimant or the insured, using MADYMO, which is recognized internationally as the gold standard mathematical modeling software. These forces, torques, and accelerations are then related to daily life events and the Federal 208 Injury Standards. The results are translated into everyday language and are a tool used to resolve the claim.

Forensic Biomechanics is an applied science which utilizes the laws of physics and concepts relevant to engineering and medicine, to provide a defensible opinion regarding the causality of a physical injury.

• Clarification of whether the accident fits the mechanism of injury being claimed
• Clarification of the true extent of an impact by comparing to everyday life events and Federal 208 Injury Threshold Standards
• Early Intervention – helps set expectations of the parties involved
• Provides a tool to confidently and fairly negotiate and settle claims
• Scientific solution beyond an independent medical examination
