An Adverse Benefit Determination after you see the IME doctor

If you’ve been receiving treatment and then, suddenly, you are asked to go see a doctor for the first time, chances are, that examination is a Defense medical examination or an IME. After you see the IME doctor, you typically will receive a letter with the report informing you that, based on the good doctor’s examination, your benefits have been terminated. That letter informing you that your rights have been terminated is an Adverse Benefit Determination. It informs you that you a have a right to appeal the decision, but you have to provide supporting documentation for your appeal.

Got the ABD letter in the mail. Do I now have the right to file a lawsuit against my employer?

It’s important for you to know that just because you receive an Adverse Benefit Determination (ABD) in the mail does not mean that you do not have a right to file a lawsuit against your employer for failing to provide you with a reasonably safe workplace.
