Frequently Asked Questions

When you integrate a Legal Nurse Consultant into your team, you create a more efficient and streamlined case workflow. This allows you to focus on practicing law while we focus on the medicine.

Medical records are often extensive, complex, and difficult to interpret without clinical training. Partnering with a Legal Nurse Consultant enables you to screen, evaluate, and accept new cases more efficiently and with greater confidence. 

We bring the expertise to:

• Identify meritless cases lacking breach of duty or causation
   
• Analyze medical records with clinical precision
   
• Detect missing records and critical documentation
   
• Pinpoint gaps, inconsistencies, and red flags through hands on clinical experience
   
• Prepare clear, well-organized chronologies for rapid case review
   
• Examine electronic audit trail data
   
• Highlight medical evidence that both supports and challenges your theory of the case
   
• Identify, locate, and vet qualified expert witnesses
   

By adding medical insight to your litigation strategy, you strengthen case evaluation, improve efficiency, and position your firm for better outcomes.

Doing this is akin to hiring your auto mechanic to fix an electrical issue in your home. That person may have a basic idea what is wrong, but they are not going to have the experience needed to do the job right. 

Paralegals are indispensable to any legal team, expertly handling organization, research, and case management. However, even the most skilled paralegal cannot fully interpret whether appropriate and timely interventions occurred based on lab values, vital signs, or other clinical indicators. Assessing adherence to standards of care, identifying subtle deviations, and understanding the protocols that should have been followed requires the specialized medical training and frontline experience of a legal nurse consultant. We provide the complete, nuanced picture essential to building a stronger case.

The sooner the better. Our legal nurse consultants know that timing is everything, so we strive to meet your deadlines on time, every time. We want to give our clients the time and guidance they deserve, this is why it is important to involve us early in your case. If you are facing a mountain of records, struggling with a medical issue, needing a medical expert, or are preparing for a difficult deposition, call us. 

We only work with plaintiffs and defendants at the request of their attorney. The ethical code of conduct of our profession does not permit us to work with people who have not retained an attorney, nor do we refer patients to attorneys. Whether as healthcare providers or legal consultants, we never provide legal advice to patients.  

Before you file suit let us provide you with a deeper understanding of the medical issues and applicable standards of care. We can prepare you for the game and highlight the pitfalls before tip-off happens. Don't get blindsided by unforeseen issues.    

Immediately upon retaining us. The sooner we have all of the records the more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective we are in helping you.  

Absolutely not. Retain those for your records. Documents and films can get lost or damaged. We prefer to receive copies of records in electronic format compatible with Adobe when possible.  

In most cases, this is not necessary. However, if you receive documentation where the source or date of service is unclear, please label the document with this information before sending it to us. 

Yes. If we are already familiar with your case, we can accommodate your request more efficiently. If we are not, additional time and review may be required. We will make every effort to meet your deadlines whenever possible. Rush fees may apply. 

Typically we do, depending on the the service that we are being contracted to provide. Some services only require a flat fee. Please contact us for details.
