The IME serves as the first line of defense in mitigating the medical and disability costs of a claim.  It is a valuable claims management tool used to establish causation, accurately assess permanency, identify return-to-work options, evaluate treatment, and/or bring about a settlement.  No doubt that you must be able to rely on an independent medical opinion that clearly addresses the critical issues and that is based upon objective medical findings.
