​When workplace injuries occur or medical opinions differ, you need an evaluation that is thorough, objective, and legally defensible.

At Injury Medicine Specialists, we provide comprehensive Workers’ Compensation and Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) conducted by board-certified physicians who understand both medicine and the legal process.

​

Our focus is on accuracy, responsiveness, and clear communication — helping attorneys, case managers, and insurance partners resolve cases efficiently and confidently.

​

Objective Medical Expertise for Complex Cases

Every IME performed by our team includes:

• Comprehensive medical record review and correlation with diagnostic studies

• Detailed, in-person physical examination by a board-certified physician

• Causation and mechanism-of-injury analysis

• Functional capacity and return-to-work assessment

• Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) and Impairment Ratings

• Evidence-based recommendations for ongoing or future care

All findings are documented in a structured, legally sound format aligned with the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (5th & 6th Editions).

​

What Makes Our Evaluations Different

We don’t just complete forms — we deliver defensible medical reports that hold up in legal and administrative settings.
Our physicians perform full physical exams and create comprehensive reports that answer the questions most critical to claims resolution:

• Is the condition work-related or aggravated by work?

• Has the employee reached MMI?

• What is the impairment rating and functional capacity?

• Are the ongoing treatments medically necessary?

Our evaluations are evidence-based, medically sound, and written in clear language for attorneys, adjusters, and case managers.

​

Efficiency & Communication You Can Count On

We know that delayed reports or unclear communication can stall a case. That’s why our process prioritizes responsiveness and transparency:

• Fast turnaround times – Expedited reports delivered within 5–7 business days

• Direct access to our liaison team for scheduling and updates

• Secure delivery of all reports and documents via MoveDocs or encrypted email

• Coordination with paralegals and legal teams throughout the process

Our administrative and clinical staff work together to ensure evaluations move forward smoothly — from scheduling to final report submission.
