Mr. Brian Weaver is a Professional Engineer and consultant specializing in biomechanics, accident reconstruction, computer simulation, and mechanical systems. He has experience providing consultation in the investigation and prevention of injuries from product, vehicular, workplace, and other types of accidents.
His graduate training and research was conducted in the Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory at Michigan State University, which was a joint collaboration with the College of Engineering and the School of Osteopathic Medicine. His research and publications focused on the determination of injury mechanisms and the effects 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, rail equipment etc.) and aviation incidents.
Mr. Weaver also specializes in work place injury analysis. He has performed many job task analyses for industries such as rail roads and maritime to assess potential for the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). His specialized knowledge of rail operations and biomechanics provides unique expertise to investigate traumatic injuries that occur to employees and trespassers.
Additionally, Mr. Weaver is an Adjunct Professor at Lawrence Technological University in the Biomedical Engineering Department. Along with his teaching responsibilities, he is a member of the Lawrence Technological University Biomedical Engineering Advisory Board. In his capacity, he has worked with undergraduate students by sponsoring a senior research project to determine fracture patterns in human long bones when run over by moving railroad equipment.
