Short Biography:
A medical professional hired by one side in a personal injury case to evaluate the claimed injuries of a plaintiff.
When an Independent Medical Examiner (IME) is hired by the defense, he/she will look for other possible causes of any personal injury alleged.
Typical examination is done by a physician with experience related to the the chief complaint of the individual being examined. For example:
"back pain" - the likely examiner will be an orthopedic surgeon.
The purpose of an IME - Independent Medical Examiner is to validate liklihood that the clinical picture makes sense and is valid in light of an injury or illness.
Examples that an IME examination would be performed:
Disability evaluation,
An insurance company may require one before paying for medical/surgical care.
The goal is to establish the proximate cause of clinical symptoms. "Did X injury cause the following symptoms?"
The independent medical examiner is a neutral third party and therefore able to objectively evaluate cause and effect between symptoms and etiology. This process usually involves a physical examination in addition to necessary diagnostic tests such as lab work, x-rays, MRI's, CAT scans if those available in the records are inadequate, inconclusive or incomplete.
