When a lawsuit is filed, the defendant can force the plaintiff to go see the doctor of his or her choosing for an examination. The truth is that an independent medical examination is not independent. I’ve seen so many of these reports that are all the same. Often these doctors make all of their money by performing these examinations for insurance companies and are chosen because they help to undermine your case. They do this by saying the person wasn’t injured in the accident, that the injury was pre-existing, that the injury was cause by something else, or that the treatment wasn’t necessary. At trial, the doctor will testify about his or her findings to try to discredit the plaintiff’s treating doctor’s opinions, even though the examiner only saw the plaintiff for a short time.
These doctors are nothing more than “hired guns” for the insurance company.
Frivolous cases do not survive litigation. The legal process was created to weed out cases that are without merit. At times, you might have read about a case that appears to stretch reason, but keep in mind that if the story you heard about was actually true, then the case was examined by a judge and jury and made it through the scrutiny. Keep in mind that only the members of the jury know what evidence they thought was important, and how they reached the verdict that they awarded.
