IME No-Show – Personal Knowledge

If you were injured due to someone else’s careless actions, we understand the challenges you may be facing. As a victim or a surviving family member, you could be dealing with the life-altering consequences of a serious accident.

For those who are unsure what satisfies the “personal knowledge” prong of an IME no-show defense, the Appellate Term in uncharacterstic fashion spelled it out:

Radiology Today v. Geico Ins. Co. 2009 NY Slip Op 52208(u)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2009).

“The affirmations and affidavits of the medical professionals who were to perform the IMEs established that plaintiff’s assignor failed to [*2]appear for said IMEs (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]; Tuncel v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 21 Misc 3d 143[A], 2008 NY Slip Op 52455[U] [App Term, 2d & 11th Jud Dists 2008]).”
