From Pixels to Physics: Biomechanical Facts Behind Slips, Trips, and the Falls That Follow

Slips, trips, and the falls that follow are among the most common events in premises liability matters. This program explains how camera matching photogrammetry of security video, injury biomechanics, and party testimony converge to classify a fall mechanism and examine causation. Drawing on representative case studies, the presentation illustrates how to separate allegation from physics and anatomy, reconciling testimony with the gait cycle and linking observed motion to injury patterns. Attendees will see how a biomechanical expert can extract measurements from video, incorporate site geometry, and test competing causation narratives. Take away practical techniques you can use to evaluate your case from surveillance footage and depose fact witnesses with biomechanical precision.
