A
legal nurse consultant is part of an emerging field
of consultants and experts used by law firms. In the
past, only physicians and other types of experts were
considered to assist attorneys with the medical aspects
of their cases.
The primary role of a legal nurse consultant is
to evaluate, analyze and render informed opinions
on the delivery of health care and the resulting outcomes.
Legal nurse consultants are different than a paralegal
or legal assistant. Legal nurse consultants bring
specialized education and clinical expertise to the
medically related issues of the litigation process.
