“Independent Medical Examinations” performed by the defense are often time referred to as “Defense Medical Examinations.” PR IME is primarily designed to service our attorney clients in attending and observing such examinations with their clients. These examinations are performed pursuant to CCP § 2032 and there are specific restrictions you can place on the examiner which help to protect your clients rights. One way to ensure that your clients are protected is to prepare a detailed “Response Pleading.”

The response pleading sets limits and boundaries for which the examination will proceed. It also places the defense on notice that your client will have a representative present as well as have the examination recorded.

As a client of PRIME, we will help you every step of the way. From helping you prepare your response pleading, to providing you with a doctor to attend, observe, record and report the examination for you.

DME observations are available to you and your clients and are provided on an appointment basis. Please contact our office as soon as possible to ensure that one of our field doctors can attend.
