Importance of Nursing Consulting in Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury Cases
Nursing consulting can play a crucial role in any type of personal injury claim, but it is especially important in medical malpractice cases involving breaches of duty and standard of care. If you’re an attorney representing a client who was injured due to medical negligence, you’ll need a medically trained expert to evaluate the injuries resulting from the alleged malpractice and the impact they will have on the patient.
A legal nurse consultant can help by providing the following services:
- Interpreting and applying medical standards of care;
- Identifying breaches of duty;
- Assisting with interrogatory questioning;
- Discovering missing medical records or medical record tampering;
- Screening the medical provider’s merits;
- Performing multidisciplinary liability assessments; and
- Finding and screening expert medical witnesses.
Nurse consultants can also assist in cases involving slips and falls, car accidents, battery, and other types of personal injury by:
- Analyzing the victim’s medical issues;
- Applying standards of care;
- Conducting clinical research;
- Developing pain and suffering reports;
- Developing a comprehensive medical summary; and
- Using CaseMap® to optimize report clarity.
