Defense Medical Exams

Certain state laws allow one other person to attend a DME/IME with a client. Defense counsel relies heavily on DMEs in order to dispute the severity of a claim. For plaintiffs, the DME is often intimidating. There  are many stresses that come up for a client that the extra support from a reliable, experienced nurse is appreciated. They may encounter a hostile doctor and may need someone to speak up for them during the exam. No matter what side you represent, hiring a nurse for a DME observation is an excellent decision for assuring that the information collected in a DME is useful and accurate.


We can send a registered nurse to your next DME. Located in Los Angeles, CA, we can help interpret DME results and comment on the details of the exam. 


Occasionally the DME observation can reveal discrepancies between the report and what actually occurred in the exam. When this happens, our consultant is also available to testify at arbitration or trial. Depending on the differences, it is likely that the presence and testimony of a nurse consultant can work in your favor.

​

Defense attorneys want reassurance that the plaintiff’s complaints are sincere. Plaintiffs' attorneys want their clients' medical issues taken seriously and represented accurately. Having a nurse observe the DME can meet either of these objectives. To arrange for a DME observation, contact us today.
