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.

IMEs – called Independent Medical Examinations by insurance adjusters – are often requested by Idaho workers’ compensation insurance companies to assess the extent of a claimant’s injuries. These examinations are anything but independent. While they may seem routine, it’s crucial to recognize their potential risks.
🚫 The Risks You Face:
Biased Assessments: IMEs in Idaho are generally conducted by physicians chosen and compensated by the insurance company, often leading to biased evaluations.
Limited Examination Time: IME physicians may have time constraints, compromising the thoroughness of their assessments. It is not uncommon for injured workers to report exams of 10 minutes or less.
Discrepancies with Your Treating Physician: IME reports may conflict with the diagnoses and treatment plans provided by your trusted healthcare professionals.
Exclusion of Non-Visible Injuries: IMEs may focus primarily on visible injuries, often referred to as objective evidence, potentially overlooking pain, psychological distress, or other non-visible conditions.
Impact on Compensation: A negative IME report could be used to dispute your claim or reduce the compensation you rightfully deserve.

If you’ve been hurt at work in Idaho, the work comp insurance company may schedule you for an “independent medical evaluation” or IME.
There is nothing independent about the medical evaluation. It is more of an insurance medical evaluation. The doctor will be hand-picked by the insurance company.
If your Idaho workers compensation insurance adjuster schedules you for an “insurance medical evaluation,” then your compensation and medical benefits may be terminated.
Insurance company doctors often focus on pre-existing conditions, prior injuries, or say that injuries you feel were caused by your Idaho work unjury are unrelated to the Idaho work accident.
Our attorneys are familiar with most of the doctors in Idaho hired by workers compensation insurance carriers. If you have lost your Idaho workers compensation benefits because of an insurance medical evaluation, or if you have been scheduled for an insurance medical evaluation, contact an experienced Idaho workers compensation attorney to help protect your rights.

Your temporary total disability (TTD) or temporary partial disability (TPD) payments will be determined by your pre-injury wage and are impacted by any income you earn following your work injury.
