EMMA LEGAL NURSE CONSULTING, LLC

A CLNC consultant is a registered nurse who has successfully mastered the rigorous CLNC Certification Program. The CLNC consultant has the expertise to quickly pinpoint and interpret medical and nursing issues in any case involving health, illness or injury.

While the attorney is the legal expert, the CLNC consultant is the expert on the healthcare system and its inner workings. Nowhere else will you find this level of cost-effective expertise for reviewing medical records and understanding the subtleties of the healthcare system.

From the moment a potential case comes in, the CLNC consultant becomes an invaluable asset by identifying the medical issues, screening the case for merit and providing CLNC services relevant to your case

The services of a CLNC consultant are far more cost-effective than those of a physician. As the healthcare provider who is face to face with the patient every day, the Certified Legal Nurse Consultant can educate you about a wide range of medical issues. This knowledge saves you time and money when working with expensive medical experts

While paralegals are extremely crucial to the legal team and perform various duties that a legal nurse consultant may not have the expertise to carry out as far as legal matters go. The two roles differ in that LNCs have nursing expertise to assist attorneys in educating their clients about medical events that occur in their cases, such as breaches in standards of care

CLNCs can develop reports and chronologies that explain significant events relevant to the case and have an impact on the overall case. They can also provide research to support the case. CLNCs assist with and develop interrogatories, requests for production, as well as draft questions for deposition (for both direct and cross). Finally, CLNCs can identify causation and identify potential defendants and are experts in assisting with discovery. Sample reports are available upon request.
