An expert witness trained in a relevant medical field — oftentimes a registered nurse — can assist an individual’s legal team in effectively building and defending their case.

Finding the Right Expert Witness Nurse
In many legal cases, nurses carry the unique set of qualifications needed to provide expert witness services. They come equipped with in-depth knowledge and understanding of nursing procedures, plus vital experience and skills including:
- Critical thinking
- Problem-solving
- Attention to detail
- Quick, strategic decision-making abilities
In a personal injury case such as a slip and fall or automobile accident, a legal nurse consultant can evaluate the case’s strong and weak points after a thorough review of the patient’s medical records.
Furthermore, in a case involving alleged medical malpractice, their understanding of nursing standards of care can enable them to evaluate, determine and show whether these care standards were breached or adhered to.
Following an exhaustive assessment of the case circumstances at hand, this medical professional can then serve as an expert witness nurse, compiling and sharing their evidence-based findings in court or settlement negotiations.
