Brian T. Weaver, P.E.
Director of Biomechanics
Mr. Weaver is a Professional Engineer and consultant specializing in biomechanics, accident reconstruction, computer simulation, and mechanical systems design. He has experience providing consultation in the investigation and prevention of injuries from product, vehicular, workplace, and other types of accidents. His training and research focuses on the affects of blunt trauma to soft tissues.

With unique expertise in both biomechanics and accident reconstruction, he has performed investigations involving vehicle accidents (heavy trucks, passenger cars, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, etc.), pedestrian accidents, workplace accidents (railroad, maritime, construction, etc.), and aviation accidents.

Mr. Weaver has also used his expertise in vehicle accident reconstruction to determine various aspects of a collision, including: vehicle speeds, impact forces, line of sight, etc. He has applied this expertise in the investigation of low speed collisions, multi-vehicle collisions, heavy truck collisions, pedestrian impacts, and railroad grade crossing accidents.

Mr. Weaver has provided consultation associated with product failures and product recalls. His product failure experience includes assisting manufacturers with the design of laboratory and field-testing experiments to investigate possible failure modes with existing and retrofit designs.
