COMPLIMENTARY Webinar: Biomechanical Facts Behind Slips, Trips, and the Falls That Follow

6/24/2026

Event Details

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. Register Today! Featured Speaker Dr. Joseph Olberding is an engineer who assists legal and industrial clients in assessing injury risk and product safety from a biomechanics perspective. He applies mechanics and engineering principles to the human body to answer questions related to how, where, when, or if an injury did or would occur. He analyzes human motion, how forces are applied to the human body, and the forces and mechanisms required to produce specific injuries, with an emphasis on motor vehicle collisions, computational modeling, and pediatric injuries.   Continuing Legal Education Credit Credit has been approved with the MCLE Board of the Supreme Court of Illinois for 1.0 General CLE credit.
