​Common Questions Attorneys Ask
Attorneys recognize that behind the scenes nurse consultants provide benefits and value to their firms.  Attorneys have made the following statements. Behind the scenes legal nurse consultants give me detailed reports and chronologies that are generally not discoverable. They document specifically what happened, what was done, what was not done, and what should have been done. This gives me, as the attorney, substantive working knowledge of the medicine in order to know the right questions to ask in discussions with testifying experts. Even though I have some medical knowledge and review records myself, the analyses I receive from consulting nurses allow me to confirm what I already suspected regarding strengths and weakness.  In essence, I get more medical education and second opinions. This increases my confidence and helps me strategize my approaches.
