Do I have to go to an Independent Medical Examination in Georgia?

Once litigation has been filed, the defense can seek a court order under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-35 requiring you to attend an IME. If the court grants the order and you refuse to comply, you may face sanctions, including dismissal of your case. However, before litigation, there is generally no legal obligation to attend a defense-requested IME. Your attorney at Haug Barron Law Group can negotiate the scope, timing, and conditions of any examination to protect your rights.
