Legal Nurse Consultant

A legal nurse consultant is an advocate for an attorney’s medical/legal case and becomes an integral part of the defense team. A Legal Nurse Consultant professional is trained and is able to provide an objective opinion in the medical development of a case. A legal nurse consultant (LNC) uses his/her R. N. background to analyze cases for merit. Through medical, legal and nursing research, a legal nurse consultant applies the standard of care to each case and advises the attorney to any variances from the standard of care. The LNC is capable of developing strategy for a case and identifying strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, the LNC becomes the liaison between the attorney, expert witness and other healthcare professionals. The LNC has the experience to analyze and interpret medical records, and can ultimately testify as an expert in a case. A LNC is cost-effective and utilizes their experience to the benefit of an attorney.

According to the Houston Chronicle, "Of the approximately 900,000 attorneys in practice today, 25 percent deal with medical malpractice and personal injury cases." These attorneys rely on specially trained Legal Nurse Consultants to help them win their cases.
