Insurance Medical Exams
Posted On: October 25, 2009
I found this nugget from a hearing transcript in a brain injury truck collision case where we are trying to require the defense's medical expert to provide a modicum of documentation regarding the amount of income he earns from insurance companies:
There are a lot of experts on both sides of the aisle who may as well be independent medical examiners because they are honest doctors who just call it as they see it. The problem is that insurance companies - and plaintiffs' accident injury lawyers too but I think to a less extent - frequently stick with the "known known" - as Donald Rumsfeld would say - and only use experts that are the opposite of independent.

- National Law Journal Article on IMEs: an article I like because it quotes me
- USALawyers Article on IMEs: another article I like because it quotes me - I'm easy like that.
