What Is an Examination Under Oath?

After you’ve had a car accident, the insurance carrier is entitled to an Examination Under Oath (“EUO”) as part of the “Verification Process.” In other words, the insurance carrier is entitled to verify the facts of the accident and treatment with the claimant.

But what is an examination under oath? What does it involve, exactly? Although not a deposition, it is similar. The EUO is conducted by an attorney hired by the insurance carrier. The testimony is given under oath and the testimony is recorded by a court reporter.

What Kind of Questions Will Be Asked?

The best way to prepare for an EUO is to anticipate the questions that may be asked. We will review the topics that might be discussed and go over potential questions.

The EUO will begin with questions about your background, which includes basic personal information. They will ask about the accident. They will ask about your injuries. They will ask about your initial physical complaints. They will ask about your treatment. They will ask for the name of your treating doctor and frequency of your treatment. They will ask about diagnostic tests, like MRIs, and consultations with other doctors.

What if I Fail to Attend an EUO?
