Case Details
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in Sayles v. Allstate Insurance Company that vehicle insurance policy clauses requiring insureds to submit to independent medical examinations whenever the insurer wants are void, as they violate public policy and are 'repugnant' to the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law (MVFRL).
Additional Notes
This ruling, in Sayles v. Allstate Insurance Company, prevents insurance companies from denying payments or infringing on privacy rights of vehicle accident victims by mandating unlimited independent medical examinations.
