A defense medical exam (DME) is an examination of the plaintiff in a personal injury accident lawsuit by a licensed doctor chosen by the defendant in the lawsuit. The purpose of a DME is to allow the defendant to retain a doctor of their choice to attempt to verify the extent of the injuries the plaintiff is claiming to have suffered as a result of the accident. If you are the victim of a personal injury accident, you should hire an attorney to represent your interests.
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
