As reported in Business Insurance, an Atlanta claimants’ lawyer is president of a company selling a 3 set DVD whose stated goal is to inform claimants what to expect at an IME. The concern is that claimants are exaggerating their symptoms during IMEs to be taken seriously by the IME doctor, not to get a favorable report. In a preview of the video online, Dr. Scott Barbour, an orthopedic surgeon in Decatur, tells claimants not to exaggerate. You can check out the website at www.imeprep.com. And you and your defense attorneys may want to question claimants regarding any videos they have watched.
