WELCOME

While teaching Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics at Stanford, I would be consulted by attorneys from time to time concerning personal injury responsibility and causation issues. I was able to draw on my scientific and engineering background to assess human error and machine design hazards. Since retiring from Stanford, I have continued to analyze people operating vehicles or industrial machines, or moving around in a potentially hazardous environment, assessing responsibility and causation. My present case load is balanced between plaintiff and defense issues.

Specifically:

• vehicle operation
• machine guarding
• biomechanics
• WARNINGS! and instructions
• misstep and fall
• keyboard RSI
• Falling objects injuries

Call or email to discuss a case or to request a curriculum vitae and a professional fee schedule:

• Forensic accident analysis and reconstruction
• Forty years expert testimony experience
• Professor Emeritus, Stanford University School of Engineering

In analyzing a personal injury, I investigate the site of the injury event, reconstruct the accident from a human activity viewpoint, using principles of biomechanics and computer modeling as appropriate, and attempt to assess the relative involvement and fault of individuals on the one hand and machines or facilities on the other hand.
