Hiring a legal nurse consultant can be highly beneficial in legal matters related to healthcare, medical malpractice, or nursing practice. Legal nurse consultants are registered nurses with expertise in both nursing and the legal system. That’s why many people work with SPLNC & Associates in Detroit, MI to assist with their legal matters in the medical field. We specialize in consulting with attorneys on subjects related to healthcare and medical records. A nurse consultant can educate attorney clients and juries by advising them and serving as an expert medical witness. Here are a few ways we can assist in strengthening your case.
Legal Nurse Consultants Can Analyze Your Case
Some medical cases can be a total mess to review, especially for attorneys with limited experience or knowledge in the medical field. Legal nurse consultants have a deep understanding of healthcare regulations, standards of care, and industry practices. A consultant at SPLNC can research your specific case and provide a timeline of events in chronological order to serve as a working document throughout the case. They can help identify if a breach of regulations occurred and if it had a significant impact on your case.
Legal Nurse Consultants Can Review Medical Records
Medical records can be very time-consuming to look over and confusing to read with so much medical terminology being used. Legal nurse consultants can review your medical records to identify discrepancies, errors, or omissions that may be important in proving negligence or malpractice in your case. They can translate medical terminology and jargon into common language, making it easier for attorneys and juries to understand the medical aspects of your case.
Reviewing medical records can reveal:
- Tampering
- Inaccurate diagnosis
- Incorrect dosage of medication
- Incorrect prescriptions
- Inappropriate therapies
- Important medical details that may not have been shared with attorneys
- Noncompliance
- Adherence to standards of care
- Inaccurate assessment of damages
Legal Nurse Consultants Can Serve as An Expert Witness
Since legal nurse consultants receive advanced training in medical record review, they can provide valuable information to attorneys, insurance companies, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and other organizations by testifying as expert witnesses for your case. Conversely, they can also interview witnesses under the direction of an attorney to find the truth in your case.
