WELCOME TO MISSOURI INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EVALUATIONS AND LIFE CARE PLANS.

Missouri Independent Medical Evaluations provides specialized medical-legal services, including independent medical examinations (IMEs), life care planning, future medical needs assessments, and expert testimony. Since 2011, we have performed thousands of independent medical evaluations and have provided deposition and trial testimony in hundreds of cases.

Independent Medical Evaluations

An independent medical evaluation includes a thorough review of the relevant medical records, an interview with the individual, and a comprehensive medical examination. Our findings are presented in a detailed, easy-to-understand report addressing the history of the injury, diagnoses, medical causation, current condition, and anticipated future medical care when appropriate.

Our goal is to provide an objective medical opinion that clearly explains the relationship between the injury, the individual's current condition, and any reasonable future medical needs.

Life Care Planning & Future Medical Needs

Life care planning and future medical needs assessments build upon the same comprehensive medical evaluation process. These services are often utilized in cases involving catastrophic or permanent injuries where an individual is expected to require ongoing medical care, treatment, equipment, services, or assistance.

Each life care plan includes an independent medical evaluation and a detailed assessment of the individual's anticipated future medical needs related to the injury. We identify the care that is reasonably expected to be required and research the associated costs to provide a comprehensive projection of future medical expenses.

This provides attorneys, individuals, insurers, and other parties with a clear and medically supported assessment of future care and its associated costs for use in settlement discussions, mediation, deposition, or trial.

Expert Testimony

Missouri Independent Medical Evaluations provides expert medical testimony regarding our independent medical evaluations and life care plans. We are experienced in providing both deposition and trial testimony and in explaining complex medical issues in a clear and understandable manner.

Our opinions are based on the medical records, examination findings, clinical experience, and the available medical evidence, with an emphasis on providing objective, well-supported conclusions that can withstand scrutiny throughout the litigation process.
