The workers’ compensation department might ask you to attend an independent medical evaluation (IME). This is a panel of doctors hired by the insurance company to evaluate your injuries. These doctors are not on your side. They are on the insurance company’s side and are looking for reasons to deny your claim. You must be at the IME and cooperate with the doctors. If you have questions about attending an IME and your rights, contact Eugene work injury lawyers at Strong Law Accident and Injury Attorneys.
