Thesis (Ph.D.)--Union Institute and University, 2003.

The purpose of this research is to propose a systematic approach, or decision model, for forensic biomechanics to determine the relevance and reliability of expert testimony required by Daubert. The proposed decision tree has three main branches: medical documentation, event history, and physical evidence. Evidence from these three branches, along with supporting literature, is summarized in a summary branch or trunk. The material and conclusions are then prepared in narrative form and presented with the decision tree as an integrated final opinion. Using this model for organizing, evaluating, interpreting, documenting, displaying, and communicating the evidence available in a specific case, the expert can illustrate to the court the entire intellectual process. The methodology illuminates the logic of the expert, demonstrates where assumptions and inferences are made as well as the strength or weakness of those assumptions, illustrates the importance of each piece of evidence or lack thereof, and provides a tool for identifying the overall strength of the biomechanical opinion. The material presented in this Project Demonstrating Excellence establishes a methodology for forensic biomechanists that allows the court to determine the validity of reasoned opinions as a prerequisite for admissibility under the Daubert rules, and demonstrates the effective application of the methodology using several case examples.Subjects--Topical Terms:
