What Is the Role of a Nursing Home Expert Witness?
When navigating a legal matter involving a possible violation of standard of care at a nursing facility, expert testimony on whether deviations from standard of care occurred is key. In order to be credible and acceptable, this testimony must be clearly based upon relevant facts, evidence and outcomes in similar cases.
A nursing home expert witness comes equipped with the educational background and training needed to skillfully interpret, connect and present supporting evidence during trial or settlement negotiations. In addition to serving as expert witnesses, licensed legal nurse consultants may also provide beneficial assistance for personal injury cases by:
- Analyzing medical records;
- Performing relevant medical research;
- Preparing evidence for trial;
- Helping to identify and screen other relevant medical expert witnesses; and
- Creating a life care plan outlining the patient’s current and future care needs, plus associated costs.
