Independent Medical Examinations are Neither Independent, Nor Medical. Discuss.

By Ross Jurewitz

ADVERTISEMENTS

Sorry, for borrowing the line from Mike Myers' Linda Richman character from Saturday Night Live, but it fit.

The New York Times recently released an investigative report about the use of so-called independent medical examinations performed on behalf of insurance companies in workers' compensation cases. These examinations are very similar to those performed in California personal injury cases. What the New York Times found was that these examinations were being performed for the sole purpose of protecting the insurance companies' interests, rather than seeking the truth about the victim's injuries.

You can read more about the New York Times' report about independent medical examinations and their application in California personal injury cases here at our San Diego personal injury lawyer website.
