The defendants brought a motion seeking orders for the plaintiff to undergo two medical examinations—one by an orthopedic surgeon and one by a neurologist.
The court considered whether these examinations were necessary for trial fairness or duplicative of prior assessments.
The court found that the requested examinations were not duplicative and were necessary to ensure fairness, and ordered them to proceed.
The court declined to order the plaintiff to pay a cancellation fee for a missed appointment due to her chronic pain, but awarded the defendants costs of the motion.
