This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book This is a book of true/false questions designed to educate both doctors and personal injury attorneys on the dynamic of collisions and the injuries occupants of vehicles suffer and why. Dr. Thomas E. Dow has spent years treating individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents and work-related injuries. His expertise shines through in his informative book Myths & Facts About Low Speed Collisions and Occupant Injury. About the Author Dr. Thomas E. Dow has a 40' Cruiser Yacht; his son Thomas F. Dow is his business partner and together they have three office locations on Long Island specializing in treatment of persons injured in motor vehicle accidents and work-related injuries. Dr. Dow is a cofounder and on the board of a group of 55 multidiscipline offices called Injurydocsnow.com with offices located all throughout Long Island and the boroughs specializing in the treatment of accident victims. He has also been a lecturer for decades regarding collision dynamics and occupant injury. Praise for Myths & Facts About Low Speed Collisions and Occupant Injury I am an attorney in New York and have been practicing for over 20 years. Dr. Dow’s ability to testify in support of his patient treatment protocols is only rivaled by his ability to virtually cripple attempts of cross-examination. Simply put, when Dr. Dow is on the stand, I don’t need to do much or say much. - Angelo Rizzo, Esq. The insurance companies and their attorneys often portray soft tissue injuries as mere sprains and strains with limited duration. This is especially true when your client's case involves low speed impacts with minimal damage. Dr. Thomas Dow has finally set the record straight with a concise yet copious book, which every personal injury practitioner who handles motor vehicle accidents will find indispensable. - Charles Bilello, Esq. Dr. Thomas Dow is an authority on spinal injuries and as an expert has helped me maximize the value on many cases. Insurance companies have been promulgating and disseminating propaganda about low impact and minimal property damage accidents not being able to cause much occupant injury, They consistently insist that a plaintiff cannot be seriously injured in those types of accidents. Dr. Dow’s book is filled with conclusatory statements about low impact collisions based on medical and scientific evidence which acts as a guide on how to overcome all of the arguments insurance companies use to try to diminish the value of these cases.

Download or read book Special Investigation Report written by United States. National Transportation Safety Board and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1999 and 2000, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated nine rear-end collisions in which 20 people died and 181 were injured. Common to all nine accidents was the rear following vehicle driver's degraded perception of traffic conditions ahead. As the Safety Board reported in 1995 and further discussed at its 1999 public hearing, existing technology in the form of intelligent Transportation Systems can prevent rear-end collisions. In the nine accidents investigated by the Board, one (and sometimes more) of the available technologies would have helped alert drivers to the vehicles ahead, so that they could slow their vehicles, and would have prevented or mitigated the circumstances of the collisions. The major issue addressed in this Safety Board special investigation report is the prevention of rear-end collisions through the use of Intelligent transportation systems. This report also discusses some of the challenges, including implementation, consumer acceptance, public perception, and training, associated with the deployment of vehicle-and infrastructure-based collision warning systems. As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board issues recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation; the Federal Highway Administration; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; truck, motorcoach, and automobile manufacturers; the Intelligent Transportation Society of America; the American Trucking Associations, Inc.; the Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association; and the National Private Truck Council.

Download or read book Biomechanical Effects of Initial Occupant Seated Posture During Rear End Impact Injury written by Vivek Palepu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whiplash injuries remain the most common consequence of motor vehicle accidents and account for a significant annual cost to society. In United States alone, whiplash injuries occur in more than one million people every year. It has been reported that the annual cost for whiplash injuries in the USA is $2.7 billion and £2.5 billion in the UK. Whiplash injury can reduce victim's quality of life for a significant amount of time, ranging from weeks to few months and sometimes, symptoms may persist for years. Whiplash is a soft tissue injury and the spectrum of injury may include damage to intervertebral ligaments, discs, facet joints and surrounding soft tissues. Whiplash is the most common injury sustained in the rear-end motor vehicle collisions accounting for more than one-thirds to half of the total reported whiplash cases. As an automobile occupant is hit from behind, the forces from the seat back compress the kyphosis of the thoracic spine, which provides an axial load on spine together with shear force which makes it easier for soft tissue injuries to occur. An out of occupant seating posture can change this complex loading compared to the normal posture. Based on the clinical and epidemiological evidence, the axial rotation of the head or inclined head and the body forward postures prior to impact had an increasing whiplash injury risk following automotive rear impacts. There is very less understanding of the injury patterns when the vehicle occupant seating posture is out of position (non-typical posture) and is subjected to a rear end collision. A detailed 3D osseoligamentous human head-pelvis FE model has been developed. The model consists of a skull, vertebrae, viscoelastic discs, frictionless facet joints, nonlinear ligaments, ribcage and pelvis. All of the material properties were derived from literature. The bony structures were modeled as linear elastic material models and the discs and ligaments were modeled as non-linear models. The main aim of this thesis was to develop a head-pelvis FE model to study the influence of different out of occupant seated postures on the injury pattern due to rear end impact loading. The initial goal was to validate the model under static and dynamic loading conditions. Static validation was done in flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation by comparing the results with cadaveric experimental data. Dynamic validation was performed by providing an input sled acceleration to the FE model and comparing the global as well as intervertebral motion responses with the experimental corridors. FE model was first tested in the normal seating posture in the standard seat with headrest due to the rear end impact of 4g. The headrest and the seat were modeled as a hyperfoam material model in ABAQUS. The normal seating posture was then modified to create different out of occupant seating postures: body forward (BF-body leaned forward by certain angle measured in degrees with respect to the vertical); head turned (HT-head rotated to the right by certain angle measured in degrees), combination of the body forward and head turned posture (BF-HT) and head flexed (HF-head flexed by 20 degrees) that were derived from the literature. The first part of the experiment was to study the effect of progressively increasing body forward seating postures (BF-15, BF-20 & BF-25) on the injury pattern due to the same rear end impact. The next test was to investigate the effect of progressively increasing head turned (HT) seating postures (HT-15, HT-30 & HT-45) on the whiplash injury outcome. Furthermore, head turned, body forward, head flexed and BF-HT postures were compared with the normal seating posture to identify high risk out of occupant postures. The final test investigated the effect of increased impact severity of 10g on the identified high risk out of occupant postures. The risk of whiplash injury was quantified by measuring intra-discal pressures, facet stresses and ligament strains. Results showed a non-linear increase in the range of motion, intervertebral disc pressures, facet stresses and ligament strains with the progressive increase in body forward and the head turned postures. Intervertebral discs had increased pressures with all the out of occupant seating postures when compared to the physiological values indicating high risk of disc injury. Results indicated that body forward posture increased the risk of capsular ligament injury and head turned posture increased the risk of capsular and alar ligament injury which agrees with the clinical literature. Body forward head turned posture (BF-HT) had increased risk of both alar as well as capsular ligament injuries.

Download or read book World Report on Child Injury Prevention written by M. M. Peden and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.
