Engagements

Representative Matters

Low-Speed Vehicle Collision — Injury Consistency & Occupant Motion Analysis

Performed biomechanical analysis to evaluate injury consistency and occupant kinematics in a disputed low-speed rear-impact collision, including assessment of seatbelt use and airbag interaction effects.

Biomechanical Consultant

High-Speed Fatality Collision Reconstruction

Reconstructed a high-speed fatal motor vehicle accident, analyzing vehicle dynamics, impact speeds, and occupant injury responses to determine causation and injury mechanism.

Accident Reconstruction Consultant

Pedestrian-Vehicle Impact — Kinematics & Injury Evaluation

Evaluated pedestrian kinematics and injury risk in a car-to-pedestrian collision, applying computational biomechanics principles and reconstruction methodologies to assess impact conditions.

Biomechanical Consultant

Vehicle Rollover — Occupant Position & Seatbelt Use Determination

Conducted occupant motion study in a rollover event to determine occupant position at time of impact and evaluate whether seatbelt use was consistent with the injury pattern.

Biomechanical Consultant

Slip, Trip & Fall — Injury Consistency Assessment

Analyzed the biomechanics of a slip-and-fall incident to evaluate the consistency of claimed injuries with the reported mechanism of injury, including surface conditions and human motion factors.

Biomechanical Consultant

Falling Object Impact — Injury Biomechanics Analysis

Assessed the biomechanical forces and injury potential associated with a falling object incident, evaluating the consistency of injuries sustained with the described event parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Pak handles a broad range of cases including low-speed and high-speed vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, vehicle rollovers, and driver determination analyses. He applies both computational modeling and classical reconstruction methodologies to evaluate accident causation and injury mechanisms.

Yes — injury consistency analysis is a core component of Dr. Pak's practice. He assesses whether reported injuries are biomechanically consistent with the forces, motions, and circumstances of a given event, including vehicular collisions, falls, and falling object incidents.

Dr. Pak has extensive academic and professional expertise in pedestrian biomechanics, including years of Ph.D. research developing and validating finite element pedestrian models at Virginia Tech's Center for Injury Biomechanics. He regularly applies this expertise in forensic consulting matters.

Dr. Pak is an Accredited Traffic Accident Reconstructionist (ACTAR #4275), a Bosch CDR Technician, and has completed both At-Scene Traffic Crash Investigation and Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation training through the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM).

Dr. Pak provides objective, science-based forensic consulting to insurance carriers, law firms, and corporate clients on all sides of a matter. His opinions are grounded in engineering principles and peer-reviewed biomechanics research.

Dr. Pak holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Virginia Tech (2019) and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan (2014). He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, Accident Analysis & Prevention, and Traffic Injury Prevention.
