Legal Question in Insurance Law in New York

Suing an Insurance Company

In the event that a person goes for an IME, which results in the insurance company's denial, is there any recourse once the PI case is settled?

Can they be sued for ''breach of contract?'' What if I can prove other than their medical exam results?

Any info will be deeply appreciated

Re: Suing an Insurance Company

In general, there is no recourse once the PI case is settled. The insurance company's denial after an IME is "standard" procedure, it is very likely that after an IME, the insurance company's doctor will deny further medical treatment. There are several things that can be done if you require more treatment, but that would depend on the circumstances of your particular case. Discuss your no-fault benefits with your attorney, this is not something that a person should handle on their own. If you need further assistance, feel free to call my office.
