Medical Consulting for Law Firms in Colorado Springs

In today’s complex world of health care, electronic medical records must be carefully reviewed by someone with the medical expertise to understand the coding, acronyms and medical jargon. Whether determining the merits of a case, or preparing to face well-prepared defense counsel in court, hiring a medical consultant provides many advantages. 

Lynn Anderson Nurse Consulting works to assist law firms at all stages, including:

• Case intake: Determining the merits of a case is critical. These cases require significant resources to litigate. Knowing the merits of a case at the outset can allow law firms to focus on those most likely to be won in the negotiating room or in the courtroom. 
• Standards of care: Cases often hinge on standards of care. But these standards can be moving targets, depending upon the facts and circumstances of a case. 
• Causation: Determining causation is vital, and is often where defense counsel works to confuse the issue with pre-existing conditions or other factors. 
• Damages: Determining the full extent of damages, including likelihood of future medical complications, can have a big impact on case outcome. 
• Expert WItness: Having an independent medical expert put it all together in a way a jury can understand is vital to a successful outcome. Nurses are uniquely qualified for this role thanks to years of speaking with family members. Lynn combines those skills with specialized training and courtroom experience. 

In addition to reviewing the plaintiff’s case, Lynn’s experience makes her an invaluable asset when it comes to reviewing the defense case, anticipating what they will argue at trial, and determining the validity of defense reports and the testimony and experience of defense witnesses. 

When law firms experience the impact an experienced medical consultant can make on a case, they quickly realize the advantages pay for themselves, from identifying additional defendants, to a comprehensive understanding of damages. Many personal injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice law firms begin utilizing consulting services at case intake to determine which cases most deserve their time and resources.
