 Here are some legal matters to take care of below to ensure yourself the proper procedures in taking care of your personal injury case.

When you file a personal injury lawsuit, you're asking a court to award you in other words, monetary compensation for your physical injuries and related losses—stemming from an accident that the defendant (the person you're suing) allegedly caused. And as part of this process, the defendant (or their insurance company) usually has the right to request an independent medical examination (sometimes referred to as an "IME"). So, how does an IME work, do you have to attend one, and what can you do to protect yourself Read on for the answers.

After any kind of accident, the first is often performed by a doctor of the injured person's own choosing.   Naturally, over the accident, the defendant (or their insurance company) will want a second opinion and may request an IME. In general, an IME is performed by a licensed doctor of medicine (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (OD), usually one with medical knowledge or training in the specific area relating to the case, and with experience in the area of IMEs.

Typically, when it comes to the timing and procedure of an IME:

• the defendant or insurance company must give the injured person reasonable notice of the time, manner, location, and scope of the examination
• unless there is good cause for further exams, only one IME is usually permitted
• the defendant or insurance company must pay for the IME, and

So remember these 3 things in a personal injury case.

1. Get as much evidence as possible in writing, photos, and videos.

2. Get an exam asap.

3. Get a good personal injury lawyer.
