City of Manassa and Pinnacol Assurance, Petitioners/cross-Respondents v. Dale Ruff, Respondent/c — Martinez, J…

Summary

Justice Martinez dissented from the majority's construction of the rule governing conflicts involving independent medical examination physicians. The dissent would hold that the physician's substantial financial relationship with the insurer created an apparent conflict requiring objective assessment, and would affirm the court of appeals' remand for the administrative law judge to make that determination. Justice Bender joined the dissent.
