Insurance Company Games
Accident victims who file lawsuits in personal injury cases are very often
required to submit to a medical examination performed by a doctor hired
by the negligent party's insurance company. Although the insurance
company chooses to call the examinations, "independent examinations",
the reality is that the doctor is bought and paid for by the insurance
company. Since I have been litigating
auto accident
and other types of personal injury cases in Palm Springs and the Coachella
Valley for over 40 years I have to laugh when I see the same doctors time
and time again hired by many different insurance companies. The reports
written by these, "hired gun", insurance doctors most often
contain opinions favoring the insurance company and against the accident
victim. I have read countless reports written by biased insurance doctors
who attempt to discredit my clients who have legitimate claims and real
injuries caused by the negligent acts of another. I advise my clients
to make certain that they document their injuries by obtaining the medical
care and treatment they need. If necessary we can assist our clients find
the medical care that is appropriate for their injuries. It is very important
to be able to present treating doctors to a jury who can explain why my
client's injuries were caused by the accident in question. I want
the jurors to understand that the insurance doctor who is testifying for
the negligent party is biased in favor of the defendant because of the
repeat business sent to that doctor by insurance companies.
