What is an IME in workers compensation case?

In a work injury case or workers compensation case, you have many benefits that are due you by law as an injured employee.  Your employer or his insurance company is under no duty to disclose these benefits to you.  If you do not know your benefits, your time to obtain these benefits could pass and you would be barred from receiving them.  Consult our firm for details on what benefits you are due.

One benefit is the IME.  This is an independent medical exam which is paid for by the employer at no cost for you.  Your attorney can assist you in scheduling this appointment.  It gives you the opportunity to have another physician review your treatment and render an opinion on your medical condition and future medical concerns.  This can be significant benefit in getting you additional medical care and settlement in the future.  This equips you to obtain a second, independent medical exam.
