Consultants

Kelly Kennett specializes in the biomechanics of human injury and accident reconstruction, with emphasis on traumatic injuries related to transportation, recreation, and industry. His expertise includes the following areas:

• Injury biomechanics—evaluation of injury severity, causation, and correlation with dynamic and static events. Inspection and analysis of vehicular restraint systems, protective gear, and other injury prevention and mitigation devices. Knowledge and application of motor vehicle and consumer product safety standards.
• Reconstruction and investigation of incidents involving all types of vehicles, including on- and off-road vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, and industrial equipment.
• Dynamic testing—design, execution, and evaluation of vehicle, human volunteer, and surrogate testing, including anthropomorphic test dummies and cadaveric specimens.
• Modeling, simulation, and analysis of dynamic and static events using digital numerical techniques.
