(a) to provide opinion evidence that is fair, objective and non-partisan;
(b) to provide opinion evidence that is related only to matters that are within the expert’s area of expertise; and

Our Adverse comment page is not an exhaustive list or search of adverse comments. These are just examples of the comments of Judges and Arbitrators, the triers-of-fact, who decide the quality of the experts and their evidence. Surely we can trust in their words.
You can check out some of the insurer medical examiners by searching an assessors name on the Canadian Legal Information Institute (Canlii) website where court decisions are published at: http://www.canlii.org/en/index.html
You can go directly to LAT AABS cases on Canlii to find more information on IME/IE providers.
If you have a Superior Court or Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) Automobile Accident Benefits Service (AABS) decision that contains an adverse comment about one of Ontario’s IME providers you can send it to us for inclusion on our website at: fairautoinsurance@gmail.com
We highly recommend you access the legal decisions on Canlii and read the entire decision to understand the context of the adverse comments
