Medical
Legal Assessments
If one of your clients has been injured as a result of an accident
or a medical malpractice situation, you may need to partner with a company specializing in medical legal
assessments. These evaluations, also known as
Independent Medical Evaluations
(or IMEs,) may be conducted to determine the cause, extent and medical
treatment of an injury where liability is at issue. They
may also be useful to determine whether or not an individual has garnered
maximum benefit from his or her treatment, or to find out whether any permanent
impairment remains after treatment. Medical legal assessments can be carried
out on behalf of the insurance company, the employer or the legal representative. The professional
conducting the examination does not form a doctor/patient or therapist/patient
relationship with the individual in question.
Types of examinations performed typically include:
neurological, orthopedic, psychiatric, chiropractic, vocational, ergonomic, and
many more.
A medical assessment
company can provide other analyses, including medical file reviews, functional
abilities evaluations, and physical demands analyses for
specific jobs.
