What Services Does A Nursing Home Expert Witness Provide?
To form a solid basis for a claim of nursing home standard of care violation, expert testimony can be crucial. An expert witness can offer their credible, impartial clinical perspective on a case based upon their relevant knowledge, research, evidence and similar case outcomes. If they determine that a breach of duty of care did indeed occur, this professional can then demonstrate to the jury how this instance of negligence directly contributed to the claimant’s injury or illness.
At Cardinal LifeCare Consulting, our knowledgeable legal nurse consultants provide expert witness services to law firms across the nation. Highly educated and skilled in the process of collecting, interpreting and presenting evidence in a compelling manner, they may be called upon during trial or settlement negotiations to serve as a nursing home expert witness.
Beyond offering their expert testimony, our consultants assist attorneys working on elder injury cases by:
- Interviewing patients;
- Analyzing medical records;
- Creating objective, evidence-based life care plans and medical cost projections;
- Identifying and explaining any breaches of standard of care;
- Conducting relevant medical research; and
- Screening and recommending other relevant medical experts as needed.
For cases involving a senior, we leverage our network of qualified professionals equipped with specialized knowledge pertaining to health concerns and issues affecting the elderly.
