GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Injured workers in Colorado often face an Independent Medical Exam (IME) as part of the workers' compensation process. This exam can determine whether an injury is work-related, the extent of a disability, and whether an employee has reached maximum medical improvement. Beware, this is an expert opinion for the insurance company. Because IMEs can significantly influence benefits, preparation is crucial.

Kaufman & Kaufman LLC, a trusted Colorado workers' compensation law firm, is offering resources and guidance to help workers navigate IMEs with confidence. The firm emphasizes the importance of reviewing medical records, being consistent and honest, and understanding that IME doctors carefully observe patient behavior.

"An IME can be intimidating because it often feels like the insurance company has the upper hand," said Mathew Kaufman, a Colorado workers compensation attorney at Kaufman & Kaufman LLC. "Our role is to ensure that workers understand what's at stake and have the legal support they need if the IME report doesn't accurately reflect their condition." Learn more here.
