Was in an auto accident in September - Upcoming IME

Hi!

I was in an accident (I was not at fault) in September that resulted in me needing surgery on my shoulder.

My auto insurance is handling the medical bills and I have an IME in a few days, and wondering what to expect.

I know the doctor will be looking for anything to discredit my injury (I DID have a preexisting injury on the same shoulder but it was in a different area. My orthopedic doc and surgeon both said that the surgery need was a direct result of the accident), but wondering what I should and shouldn’t say and expect from this?

Some insight;

-I live in Michigan

-Surgery was done a month ago and repaired a torn labrum, reattached my bicep tendon and some rotator cuff minor tears

- I’ve been in PT for the last three weeks so my range of motion has gotten substantially better from when it was measured before the surgery and before initial PT happened

- the IME is after the surgery and PT, which I find odd…

Any help would be appreciated!
