⚠️ Idaho Workers’ Comp Alert: Be Careful with “Independent” Medical Exams (IMEs)!

Idaho Insurance Medical Examination - IME

If you’ve been injured on the job anywhere in Idaho, be cautious when the insurance company schedules an “Independent” Medical Exam. Despite the name, IMEs are not truly independent — and they’re often used to reduce, limit, or cut off your workers’ compensation benefits.

🩺 The Truth About IMEs
 Insurance companies often hand-pick the doctors who perform these exams. Their goal is usually to minimize your injuries and create a report that can justify denying medical care, stopping wage-loss payments, or lowering your disability benefits. Just one biased IME report can put your entire claim at risk.

💪 Protect Your Rights with Goicoechea Law, LLC
 ✅ Experience You Need: We know the strategies Idaho workers’ comp insurers use to challenge legitimate claims.
✅ Strong Advocacy: We fight unfair IME opinions and push for the full benefits you’re entitled to — medical treatment, wage replacement, and permanent partial disability (PPD).
✅ You Heal — We Handle the Rest: Let us deal with the adjusters and the paperwork while you focus on recovery.

🌟 Injured on the Job in Lewiston, Idaho? 🌟Yes — Idaho Workers’ Compensation does pay lost wages for Lewiston workers.

Whether your injury happened at Clearwater Paper, St. Joe’s, Vista Outdoor, Logging, on a construction project, or on any job site in Lewiston or the surrounding communities, Idaho workers’ comp can replace a significant portion of your paycheck while you’re off work or restricted to light duty.

What injured Idaho workers should know:

  • 5-Day Waiting Period: If you’re off work 14 days or more, those first 5 days get paid back to you.
  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD): If you can’t work at all, you can receive about 2/3 of your average weekly wage (up to Idaho’s maximum).
  • Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): If you’re on light duty and earning less, workers’ comp can pay the difference.
  • Permanent Benefits: Available if your injury causes lasting limitations.

Lewiston workers — don’t miss out on the wage benefits you’re entitled to, especially if an insurance adjuster is denying, delaying, or giving you the runaround.

If you’ve been hurt on the job in Idaho, it’s important to act fast and protect your rights.

Follow these steps to make sure your workers’ compensation claim is on the right track:

✅ Report the injury to your supervisor immediately.

✅ Ask your employer to file a Notice of Injury with the Idaho Industrial Commission.

✅ Get medical care right away—and tell the doctor exactly how the injury happened and what hurts.

✅ Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully—and don’t be afraid to ask what activities you should avoid.

🚫 Don’t sign anything from your employer, insurance, or adjusters without getting legal advice first.

🚨 Injured Because of Someone Else’s Negligence? 🚨

At Goicoechea Law, LLC, we represent people throughout Idaho who’ve been injured due to the carelessness of others. If you’ve been hurt in a car crash, by a defective product, suffered a spinal or brain injury, or lost a loved one due to wrongful death, we’re here to help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

Wrecked Car
Vehicle damaged from by motor vehicle collision

Even if the injury happened on the job, you might still have a personal injury case—especially if someone outside your employer caused it. For example, if you were hit by a third-party driver while working, you could pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation.

And don’t assume you have no case just because you were partly at fault. Idaho’s Comparative Fault laws may still allow you to recover damages.

✅ Car Accidents
✅ Spine & Brain Injuries
✅ Drunk Driving Victims
✅ Wrongful Death
✅ Dog Bites
✅ Defective Products
✅ Trucking Accidents

Wearable Technology May Reduce Idaho Workers’ Comp Injuries

The Claims Journal reported that a new study from Conning says that wearable tech might lower workers’ comp claims. These devices can keep an eye on how workers move and check for dangers around them. They can help workers avoid risky situations or actions that might cause big injuries and expensive claims. The report, called “Wearable Technology’s Slow Acceleration to ‘Preserve the Reserve,'” lists the most used wearable devices and includes a survey of 60 top workers’ comp insurance leaders. This survey looks at how wearables are used now, how much they could be used in the future, and what problems insurers have in getting people to use them.

While technology may reduce work injuries in the future, many Idahoans work in dangerous jobs that often result in Idaho work accidents and workers’ compensation injuries.
