This answer depends greatly on the present status of your claim and who the opposing counsel is representing.  If the opposing counsil is representing your No-Fault Benefits provider (usually your own auto insurance company), you likely have a contractual obligation to attend the IME.If the opposing counsel represents the other party involved in the accident and you have already initiated a lawsuit, will likely be required to attend the appointment based upon the discovery standards set forth in the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure. If you have already retained an attorney, you should certainly pose this question to them.  I wish you the best moving forward.Sincerely,Eric PalmerPalmer O'Dea LLCMinnesota Personal Injury Lawyers
