Boston Independent Medical Examination Attorney

The term "independent medical examination" — often referred to as the IME — is a misnomer, perhaps more accurately called a "defense medical examination." Independent medical examinations are conducted by physicians who are paid by the defense insurance companies to evaluate the claimants. Sometimes insurance companies use outside vendors to secure these examinations.

The independent medical examinations are, more often than not, biased exams that lead to unfair medical reports. This can lead to the loss of health care, injury, disability, death and financial ruin for our clients. Having developed an extensive database of physicians and vendors, we can help you if you are the victim of an unfair medical opinion.

As a skilled Massachusetts IME attorney, Jonathan M. Feigenbaum, Esquire provides knowledgeable representation to clients in these matters. This aspect of a disability insurance claim requires extensive preparation and in-depth knowledge of the IME system.

Our law firm is well aware of the financial interests involved as well as the strategies that must be used to confront this issue.
