Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes
Q: UNABLE TO GET AN "IME": The insurance company requiring an Independent Medical Examination (IME) and there are no doctors within a 75 mile radius that does that sort of testing. What should I do to appeal the matter?
A: Our experience is that if the insurance company wants an Independent Medical Examination for your long-term disability claim and there are no doctors within a 75 mile radius, they will find a doctor outside of a 75-mile radius and pay for your transportation. They should not deny your claim on the basis of a lack of an Independent Medical Examination if they are requesting an Independent Medical Examination and can do nothing to arrange it.

Testimonials
- Congratulations on having been selected by your peers for inclusion in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
- This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. Surprisingly, our meeting with Ben went so well. It was very informative and educational.
- We were deeply touched by your kindness.
- I contacted Attorney Ben Glass's office and franticly spoke to his assistant Terry. We had a little more than two weeks to challenge my LTD provider's threat to offset my LTD disability payments by the amount of a recent settlement I had received on a Worker's Compensation claim - the claim was settled outside of the Worker's Compensation system.
- I want to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in 2009. I greatly appreciate your efforts on my wife's disability appeal. Your staff worked hard, is very talented and your ethical approach was readily apparent.
