Beete v. Banipal

Kelley Campbell was able to protect Ms. Beete from further invasive medical examinations, arguing that after the defendant certified its readiness for trial and asked for a trial date, the Rules prohibit it from forcing Mr. Beete to attend further medical examinations unless it could demonstrate a substantial change in circumstances since the case was set down for trial—which it did not. This ruling will encourage insurance companies to obtain the information they need early on in the process, thus improving the chances generally of earlier settlements for injured people.
