My roomate's year old AME report stated that he needed back surgery, not to lift more than 25 pounds, and that he needed counceling visits etc. The insurance company for the last year has been denying his surgery and this finally lead to a court date to resolve the issue.
Once he got to court he finds out that just a couple weeks before his court date the 2 AME's filed new reports. These 2 reports were never sent to him or his lawyer and there has never been any follow up appointments to re-assess his physical health. Even though my Grandfather, a retired / renouned surgeon, ex doctore of UT University and the Utah Jazz, says he's doing permanant damage to his back and nerves by having the surgery postponed.
How can these drastically revised reports hold up in court (not to mention the judge he got was an ex defense attourney for medical insurance companies). He was basically told by the judge that his case was weak. Of course his case was weak... The reports were basically lies told by the AME's.
Never sent to his legal representative, or him, and just weeks before the case. That's about as shady and ****edited by admin***** up as it gets.
What can he do to contest the report, and are there any possible investigations / motions he can take against the AME's? What would you guys recommend doing?

2 years of watching my friend get jerked around (cuz his case is probably worth $100k + at the end of the day)... It's an understandable slip.
