“Our Legal Nurse Consultant is my right arm when it comes to medical product
liability litigation. As a trained Legal Nurse Consultant, she picks up the
nuances of a case that an attorney can't. Not only can she decipher the medical
language, but she puts it into a context that I can understand, teaching me the
case as we go.
Her attention to detail is wonderful, she reviews the records over and over and
researches the information that she doesn't understand herself. She gives me a
summary of the records, plus an added column of information researched from
other sources. She is very thorough. I couldn't do this type of work without her
and I wonder how attorneys who don't have someone equally as good get
through these cases.”

“Whether the task at hand is evaluating new case inquiries in an emerging
pharmaceutical mass tort or reading through hundreds of pages of a hospital
chart in order to put together a chronology of what happened and when, Legal
Nurse Consultants bring invaluable expertise to any firm whose practice
requires even a basic knowledge of medicine. I have personally used Legal
Nurse Consultants at almost every stage of a case.
A well versed Legal Nurse Consultant can screen damages issues in potential
new cases, can help put together medical timelines for use at deposition or at
mediation, and, to the attorney who knows more law than medicine, is a
constant source of education and insight. Did your client receive the recalled
medical device, and did she suffer from the target injuries that prompted the
recall? Did the nursing and medical staff attending to your client while
hospitalized conform to accepted standards of care? These and a myriad of
additional questions can eat up endless attorney time. Leveraging the
knowledge base of a Legal Nurse Consultant saves that time and results in
better organization and preparation.”

"I have been working with Legal Nurse Consultants for over twenty years and
cannot imagine practicing personal injury law without them. Legal Nurse
Consultants at our law firm play critical roles in virtually every type of personal
injury case including motor vehicle accidents, product liability and medical
malpractice cases. For all personal injury cases, they are able to identify,
organize and summarize the medical records, identify and evaluate the injuries,
analyze causation issues and assist with the medical portions of discovery
responses. For the malpractice cases, they are also able to do research
regarding the applicable standard of care.
In our experience, the more complex the case, the more the Legal Nurse
Consultant can contribute. Thus, in the more complex personal injury cases,
such as medical malpractice and pharmaceutical product liability cases, our
Legal Nurse Consultants are involved from the initial intake call through
resolution. In addition to obtaining, summarizing and analyzing medical
records, they are involved in meeting with potential clients, following up with
clients about their evolving medical condition, evaluating whether to
investigate and undertake a claim, researching and analyzing medical liability
and causation issues, identifying experts and serving as a liaison with medical
and nursing experts.
Attorneys considering adding Legal Nurse Consultants to their team would be
best served by nurses with excellent reading comprehension, writing,
organizational and analytical skills, as well as a strong clinical background, work
ethic and interest in learning the applicable legal standards. "
