Injury Criteria Assessment: Compass Consulting Engineers’ experts conduct thorough biomechanical analyses to assess quantifiable injury criteria, considering factors such as force, acceleration, impulse, and energy specific to the incident. By applying industry-standard mechanistic injury criteria models, such as HIC (Head Injury Criterion), HIP (Head Impact Power), and NIJ (Neck Injury Criterion), we evaluate the severity of injuries sustained during accidents and the expected probability of injury, (e.g., concussion, bone fracture, etc.) based on the incident forces. 

Medical vs. Biomedical Opinions: Biomechanical analyses often intersect with medical opinions, requiring a nuanced understanding of both disciplines. Our team collaborates closely with medical experts to reconcile biomechanical findings with clinical assessments, ensuring a holistic understanding of (and differentiation between) general injury mechanisms and individual outcomes/diagnoses.
