Meticulous Nursing Home Experts at Cardinal LifeCare
In order to gain clarity on whether a reported incident may be categorized as a nursing home standard of care violation, it’s essential to look in depth at the details of the case at hand. A nursing home expert with the necessary specialized knowledge on these matters can perform a thorough analysis to determine whether there is enough evidence to back a claim that a duty of care breach took place. They can then present their findings to the involved attorneys, as well as during trial or settlement negotiations.
In addition to offering their expertise and credible testimony, legal nurse consultants may also help with cases involving senior care in the following ways:
- Conducting patient interviews;
- Performing clinical research;
- Screening and recommending additional expert witnesses;
- Compiling evidence for compelling presentation during litigation; and
- Creating objective, evidence-based life care plans and medical cost projections.
Depending on the specific case, some or all of these services may be applicable to help strengthen a case surrounding an allegation of nursing home abuse or neglect.
