Objective Medical Testing Tends to Hold Up Better in Court

· Jul 25, 2015 ·

In PA and NJ, car insurance companies, judges, and juries want you to prove your case with positive objective medical testing. Objective medical testing is testing that is not based on the person’s voluntary responses, such as pain. Objective medical tests cannot be faked or exaggerated.

A common example of an objective medical test is an x-ray. An x-ray is a picture of a bone. A picture cannot be faked or exaggerated. Objective medical testing is also used by PA and NJ courts to help determine if a Plaintiff passes the limited tort/verbal threshold restriction. Also, with positive objective testing, it is hard for a car insurance company to claim that you do not have the injuries that you are claiming in your case.

The following is a list of some objective medical tests that have held up in some courts. These types of medical tests could be argued to be objective. Not every court or every judge would agree, but a qualified doctor who testifies in court could explain how these tests are not based on the Plaintiff’s subjective responses.

  • Adams test
  • chiropractor’s observations of actual, quantified limitations
  • compression tests, cervical & shoulder
