Victoria Eyers and Stephen Jowitt of the TRL’s Forensic Investigation team, and Professor Chris Uff, a London neurosurgeon, gave technical presentations to Fieldfisher personal injury solicitors at their London office about traumatic brain injury in road traffic collisions. They were joined remotely by other solicitors from their Manchester and Belfast offices.
The TRL presentation showed the methodologies we employ in analysing the physical events in collisions; data collection and use; and how our conclusions can be used to inform medical professionals about the likely forces delivered to the head, allowing them to comment on the potential benefits of head protection (helmets).
The presentations were well received and provoked significant discussions about the data required to allow a thorough analysis of collisions. It will also help the professional development of personal injury lawyers.
The Forensic Investigation team routinely present to lawyers and other special interest groups to advance the specialist knowledge we have gained from the analysis of real world collisions from both research and consultancy. Please do contact us to arrange a session.
