How We Help Attorneys

Our expert physicians conduct unbiased medical-legal evaluations to determine if injuries are work-related, using substantial medical evidence. They receive advanced training beyond standard QME certification to thoroughly analyze injury mechanisms and assess if industrial injuries require treatment or lead to disability. Our doctors are well-versed in the AMA Guides for impairment ratings and can explain non-industrial factors that affect disability. Continuous training ensures our physicians produce accurate, comprehensive reports that meet the highest standards for attorneys, claims adjusters, and judges.

Many attorneys prefer using an Agreed Medical Evaluation (AME) over the random panel QME process, as it can be more cost-effective and timely for resolving workers' compensation claims. AME reports are typically more predictable, acceptable, and ratable. At North American Medical Authority, we take pride in being the trusted partner for attorneys, offering expert medical-legal evaluations that are reliable, comprehensive, and tailored to the needs of your case.

Our highly trained physicians conduct unbiased evaluations based on solid medical evidence to determine whether injuries are industrial in nature.

We have a highly skilled team of physicians who specialize in SIBTF/SIF evaluations, undergoing continuous training to accurately assess worker eligibility for these benefits. The evaluation process involves several steps: determining if a worker had a pre-existing impairment before the subsequent industrial injury, confirming if a new industrial injury occurred, and assessing whether the new injury caused at least 35% permanent disability or 5% disability to an opposite body part. Finally, our physicians evaluate whether the total permanent disability reaches 70% or more across all medical specialties.

Our pre-deposition and court preparation services help attorneys enter the courtroom with confidence, ensuring no detail is overlooked. At North American Medical Authority, we conduct thorough evaluations of your case, identifying any issues that may have been missed. Our expert physicians meticulously review all relevant medical records—including QMEs, AMEs, diagnostic studies, and more—to verify the accuracy of disability factors and ensure the case is built on solid medical evidence.

We provide clarity on whether the claimed mechanisms of injury contributed to the pled body parts, assess if impairment rating methods are properly applied, and ensure all non-industrial factors are considered. By partnering with us, you avoid the risk of being unprepared during depositions, trials, or settlements, giving you a strategic advantage and peace of mind.
