in the field of Crash Reconstruction and impact biomechanics.
He has extensive training and education in the field of
accident reconstruction, biomechanical analysis, fraud analysis
and biomedical engineering.
He has over 21 years experience as an analyst,
consultant and testifying expert in the field of transportation
crash reconstruction and impact biomechanics. In 1995, he
designed and tested a crash sled to study occupant dynamics
and injury mechanism in human volunteers. Since 1995, he
has conducted hundreds of crash tests with human subjects.
He also conducted a 300-hour study, sponsored by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), at Johns
Hopkins University Applied Physics lab studying the correlation
between seat geometry and neck injury.
Mr. Cox has been a frequent lecturer on
the topics of crash reconstruction and impact biomechanics.
His audiences have included business, legal, and insurance
professionals, as well as, members of his peer group. Mr.
Cox has authored articles on crash reconstruction and related
subjects for national publications
He has been featured as an expert
in network broadcast news stories in Houston, Phoenix, and
Providence, RI, as well as, two programs on the Discovery
