NEW YORK, NY – Global Biomechanical Solutions (www.BiomechanicalExperts.com), a New York City based biomechanical consulting firm, has literally transformed the auto insurance defense industry in New
York City with the innovation of biomechanical experts in personal injury cases involving automobile accidents. Starting out
with a local insurance carrier that primarily services the taxi & livery market, Global Biomechanical Solutions has since
expanded to serve most of the major carriers in the property & casualty market in New York. With millions of dollars saved
in bodily injury claims, more and more claims examiners and insurance defense attorneys are turning to Global Biomechanical
Solutions for assistance with low impact suspect bodily injury claims. Sean O’Loughlin, Esq., the President of Global
Biomechanical Solutions, attributes the company’s rapid growth to New York’s open minded and highly competent
judiciary. Mr. O’Loughlin says that “the judges in New York respect the advances made in Biomechanical Engineering
and definitely listen to what the experts are saying. However, as one judge told us at a recent Continuing Legal Education
seminar, ‘there is a body of law that exists and the judges are not going to accept generalizations that this accident
could never have caused this type of injury. The expert must be specific to the individual.’” Mr. O’Loughlin
continued to say that “not only is there a battle being fought over the expert’s admissibility, but the boundaries
to which a biomechanical expert may testify are being drawn right now. If a Biomechanical Expert is not a licensed physician,
then, there is a division among the judiciary in New York as to whether the expert can directly rule out causation of the
injury. The expert should be able to testify that the motions and forces in the accident were not of the type and severity
to have caused the alleged injured body part to exceed its natural physiological range of motion. But, whether the expert
can say that the accident did not cause this injury is still an issue being debated in the Courts on a case by case basis.
Notwithstanding where the lines of battle are being drawn, everyone in this industry knows that this is not going away and
it’s only a matter of time before this spreads to other states. We have numerous defense verdicts attributed to our
experts and the capacity to service the entire country, which is really great for America. Fraud is a billion dollar industry
and it is part of the reason why so many goods are manufactured over-seas. I am truly excited that my team is playing a role
in the making of our nation’s history.”
