Independent medical assessments in Hamilton
IMECore arranges IMEs, tort assessments, and file reviews for Hamilton and Golden Horseshoe files.
In-person assessments in Hamilton are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across Ontario.
The problem
A Hamilton tort file needs causation stated, not implied
Lawsuits turn on causation: whether the collision caused the impairment. A report that describes symptoms without tying them to the collision leaves counsel drafting around a gap.
- Reports describe, never conclude.
- Priors arrive with no records.
What changes
What IMECore does about it
Causation named as the question
The examiner answers it directly, with reasons.
Priors chased before booking
Earlier records arrive in time to weigh, not after release.
