A thorough evaluation performed by a skilled medical professional can be an effective tool in determining the outcome of a case. An IME is often performed by a medical doctor and used by both the plaintiff and defense. In addition, a thorough musculoskeletal evaluation by a skilled Physical therapist can be a great addition to the evaluation performed by the medical doctor and can be the missing piece of information required to force a settlement or change the outcome of a case. The evaluative skill of an experienced physical therapist is overlooked and underutilized in the medical-legal world. The experienced physical therapist’s ability to combine the musculoskeletal evaluation findings with functional assessments can provide the attorney or insurance investigators with valuable information. Furthermore, at the PMLC Group, the physical therapist and medical doctor work together with their findings to create a clear picture of the claimant’s injuries and impairments. A PMLC evaluation gives both plaintiffs and defense a detailed functional and musculoskeletal assessment, providing all the pieces necessary to form a comprehensive case. We are the only firm that can provide this level, of comprehensive medical-legal evaluation.
