The Legal Fiction of the Independent Medical Exam

ADVERTISEMENTS
After being seriously injured a plaintiff goes to a physician for treatment.  An injured person’s choice of physician is limited by options in an insurance plan.  Geography matters too, if you are in a serious amount of pain you don’t want to sit in a car for a long ride to a doctor.  As a practical matter, people often go to doctors they have a prior relationship with.  The physician may not look sophisticated, may not be the best oral communicator and may not keep the best records.  But, at least the physician’s heart is in the right place.  The physician is working hard to diagnose and treat the injuries.
