Johnson, Daniel A. (2009): Forensic Human Factors Results in Increased Pedestrian Safety. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 53rd Annual Meeting 2009. pp. 554-557.

“Falls, a major cause of serious injuries, often result from uneven sidewalks caused by tree roots. The jurisdiction (city or county) may say the fall was the outcome of the victim's "inattention" and do nothing to eliminate the hazard. But accurate measurements of an irregular rise of sidewalk demonstrated to the city that a recognized hazard did exist and its defective maintenance contributed to the fall. The outcome was a financial award to the victim. Remedial actions were taken to reduce the chance of future falls on this and other city sidewalks.”

1988

Smith, David B. D., Sloan, Gary D., Koonce, Jefferson M., Johnson, Daniel A. and Levine, Martin (1988): The Older and Disabled Population: Forensic Issues in Accidents and Age Discrimination. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 213-214.

“Both the forensic and aging domains have emerged in the last 10 years, as growing areas in human factors. These two areas are likely to find more and more issues of common concern as the U.S. population ages. There were some 50.2 million Americans age 55 and over in 1984, or one-fifth of the population. About one-half of this number were over the age of 65. In the next 30 years, the over 55 age population will have grown to one-third of all Americans, with persons over 65 being one-fifth of the population. These demographic trends, plus an elderly cohort with possibly different values about the right to legal redress, suggest age will become an increasingly relevant issue for the forensic specialist in human factors. The purpose of this panel session, jointly sponsored by the Aging and Forensic Tech Groups, is to address issues related to liability, age discrimination and functional age assessment.”
