"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.

I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

What should I be concerned about with an IME in my Georgia Workers' Comp case?

A: There are several things you should be concerned about with an independent medical exam in your Georgia Workers' Comp case. For starters, you should know that you will be sent to a company doctor who will be more likely to side with the company than with you. If you want to take steps to protect your rights and your health as victim of a work injury in Temple, GA, with a lawyer who has handled many Workers' Compensation cases.

Potential Trouble in an Independent Medical Exam

There's no way to avoid an independent medical exam if you have been seriously injured and seek Georgia Workers' Comp benefits. Therefore, you should be aware of the following:

Because the doctor performing the IME is not your personal physician, you may have trouble developing trust or a rapport.
Some company doctors are biased against injured employees and will likely downplay their injuries.
The doctor might not order the required treatment, especially if it is costly.
The doctor may not authorize adequate time off from work for your injuries to heal properly.

If you are unhappy with the doctor's evaluation or plan of care, you can have a lawyer help you argue your case. Although you will be allowed to see a different physician at least once, if you are still not satisfied with the new physician, your lawyer will need to seek a hearing to explain why you want to switch physicians again.

With experienced legal counsel working on your behalf, you can have peace of mind that your case can be handled fairly.
