Medical Malpractice

Legal nurse consultants are often involved in medical malpractice lawsuits. They review medical records, analyze the standard of care provided by healthcare professionals, and assist attorneys in identifying instances of negligence or deviation from accepted medical practices.

Personal Injury

In personal injury cases where medical issues are central to the claims, LNCs help attorneys evaluate the extent of injuries and connect them to the incident in question. They may also provide insights on the impact of injuries on the plaintiff's life and potential future medical needs.

Workers' Compensation

LNCs assist in workers' compensation claims by reviewing medical records, evaluating the extent of workplace injuries or occupational illnesses, and determining if the provided medical treatment aligns with the required standard of care.

Insurance and Disability

LNCs aid in insurance and disability claims by reviewing medical records and assessing the medical basis for the claims, ensuring that the claims align with the medical evidence presented.

Product Liability

When products cause injuries or adverse health effects, legal nurse consultants can assess the medical aspects of the case. They evaluate the nature and severity of injuries caused by the product and contribute to establishing causation between the product and the harm.

Toxic Tort

In cases where individuals are exposed to hazardous substances resulting in health issues, LNCs can evaluate the medical records and provide expertise on the causation and severity of injuries.
