But I have a Paralegal, what can I gain from a Legal Nurse Consultant?
Of course the Paralegal is an expert in assisting the attorney with legal matters in the practice, there is no question about that. The Paralegal however does not have any medical training. A Legal Nurse Consultant is first a nurse and can decipher the complex medical jargon, abbreviations, and laboratory results present in the medical record.
The attorney and paralegal can spend a great deal of time researching and learning about these topics, and may still not have an understanding of the nuances peculiar to a specific finding. As a Legal Nurse Consultant I can save the attorney time and money and build a solid case by using my unique combination of medical experience and Legal Nurse Consultant education.
As a Legal Nurse Consultant I can also advise when a case is not worth pursuing by what is found in the medical record.
