Do you ever wonder who researches collisions and where that research happens?

At Abrams Landau, Ltd. we think a lot about safety — workplace safety, roadway safety, sports safety, airport and aircraft safety, etc.

That’s why we were excited to learn about the opening of the Center for Collision Safety and Analysis (CSSA) last year on the Fairfax, Virginia campus of George Mason University (GMU), just a short drive down the Fairfax County Parkway from our Herndon office.

Associated with GMU’s College of Science and the National Center for Manufacturing Science (NCMS), CCSA takes an interesting approach to the study of road safety.  The scientists and engineers at CSSA use advanced technology to understand collisions — how, where, and why they happen; what are the outcomes when they do happen; and how can their consequences be mitigated.

“This type of research is critical to reducing the number of fatalities and injuries on our roadways,” notes injury lawyer Doug Landau.  “And this research is happening right down the road !”

If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash involving a car, truck, bus, bicycle, or other vehicle and there are questions as to what laws apply, email or call Abrams Landau, Ltd. at once (703-796-9555).
