- Require a second opinion or “variance” IME or peer review.
Fortunately cars are safer, but accidents do occur. Insurers often require independent evaluation of automotive claims to determine the validity of an injury. Reviewers:
- Address causality
- Evaluate a claimant’s injury for severity;
- Evaluate a claimant’s injury for legitimacy; and
- Determine if a pre-existing injury exists and identify complications in light of the current injury.
- Address treatment
Liability evaluations can be requested as a result of any kind of accident. Our evaluations provide opinions on:
