Dr. Gomez has testified in over a hundred cases for both plaintiff and defendant. He provides forensic analysis and expert witness consulting in industrial, vehicular, marine, recreational and sports-related personal injuries.

Dr. Gomez has published his work in books, monographs, and peer reviewed journal articles. Further, he has been a speaker at several national and international societies and universities:

• Orthopaedic Research Society of USA
• UCSD School of Medicine
• Forensic Expert Witness Association
• American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine
• STAPP Conference

For legal counsel, it can be a challenge to determine what type of injury occurred and just how serious the damage was to each person based on all the information provided by various experts: doctors, accident reconstructionists and police investigators. But how do you determine which parts of the body were damaged? How do you present your case? How will your expert witness prepare for trial?

In the book, Biomechanics of Soft Tissue Injury, by Dr. Gomez the process of reconstructing an accidental injury may be learned in a step-by-step fashion. Differences between muscles and tendons are addressed and depicted in figures and text. You will read about eccentric loading, range of motions, center of rotation, and the biological response to acute injury. In addition, you will encounter the six steps of accidental injury analysis:

1. Description of the Accident
2. Injury Pattern Defined
3. Define Loading Conditions that Produce Injury
4. Injury Mechanism Defined
5. Accident Reconstruction
6. Accident Data Consolidation

This book explains how an expert witness with a background in biomechanics will research and present the testimony in accident reconstruction cases. The last chapter provides you with several case examples from which to work.
