Must I attend Independent Medical Examination after I have accepted settlement offered by the defendant's insurance carrier? Thank you.

I'm assuming your question is in the subject line and not the body of your message.  Generally speaking, your receipt of benefits, whether they are workers' compensation benefits or no-fault benefits, are conditioned on your appearance for a physical examination, sometimes more than once.  Even if your case settles, you still need to appear for this examination.  If you are referring to the liability examination, however, you might not have to appear for the examination if your case has settled.  You should really speak with your attorney about this.  The last thing you want to do is jeopardize your case / continued receipt of benefits by failing to appear for the examination.
