This presentation is limited to WDTL members.

This moderated discussion follows the Lunch & Learn: The “How to” Guide For Using A Biomechanical Expert.

The focus will be on how to make the most of your biomechanics expert. Detailed attention will be paid to motions in limine, specifically when a motion is submitted against your expert and how to work with your expert to submit a motion against an opposing expert. During this moderated discussion, attendees are strongly encouraged to bring questions and discussion topics for Dr. Stone and Mr. Probst.

Moderator: Mark Dynan, Dynan & Associates, P.S.
Presenters: Amanda Stone, Ph.D., Senior Biomechanist, ARCCA & Brad Probst, MSBME, Senior Biomechanist, ARCCA

Mark Dynan practices in the area of litigation pertaining to insurance defense issues.  Mr. Dynan has been a member of the Washington Bar Association since 1981 after graduating from UPS School of Law.  His undergraduate work was done at Central Missouri State University.

He has formerly been an Assistant Attorney General for DSHS and DLI.  While with DLI he worked with the areas involving Compensation claims, WISHA violations and ESAC.  Mr. Dynan was trained specifically in these areas and tried many cases on behalf of the Department.

Dr. Amanda Stone is a Senior Biomechanist specializing in injury biomechanics and human factors. During her doctorate program at the University of Florida, she focused primarily on cognition and biomechanics following a lower extremity injury or in persons with neurologic or orthopedic issues. She continued this work on lower extremity biomechanics through her joint post-doctoral fellowship at the Puget Sound Veterans Hospital and the University of Washington.

Brad Probst is a biomechanist specializing in studying the forces and mechanics associated with human injury.  He applies this work to all segments of the human body involved in collisions and other impact-producing events.

Mr. Probst has designed, developed, and tested kinematic models of the human cervical spine and head, as well as seating and restraint systems. His testing and research has been performed with both anthropomorphic test devices and human subjects.
