FAQs

• What is a Legal Nurse Consultant?

Legal nurse consultants are health care professionals who are enriching and facilitating the legal process. An LNC is a nurse who possesses broad clinical nursing experience as well as specific training in the law and legal procedures.




• Why a nurse and not a doctor?

A legal nurse consultant will save you time and money, weed out non-meritorious cases, and convey vital information in terms you can understand.




• Why not a Paralegal?

The legal nurse consultant brings clinical experience, medical training and terminology to the investigation of a case. A paralegal might be able to read the chart but lacks the clinical knowledge to know what information is missing from the records and what actions should have been taken in a specific clinical situation.




• Where do Legal Nurse Consultants Work?

Law firms, insurance companies, health care facilities, government and many work independently.
