A defense medical examination. This is where the employer insure have paid a doctor to see you for a one time visit. They're seeking an opinion. They may be seeking a second opinion on your doctor saying if you need surgery. There's all kinds of reasons they can do that. But, can a schedule one that is five hours away? We had that happen recently. We had someone out. Out in the Savannah area. And all of a sudden, we get a notice for an independent medical evaluation in Atlanta. Well, the first thing I did is, I called up the adjuster and said, "Not sure if this is what you wanna do." "The mileage is going to be atrocious." "However, my client has a lower back injury, and cannot sit in the car for 5 hours. 'Perhaps you can find another doctor," "who is closer to us here in Savannah, that she can go to." Ultimately, that's what they did. So, question what they're doing. And you may or may not get something that doesn't put the burden upon your injury and your body part. Stay safe!
