Why Do Attorneys Need Certified Legal Nurse Consultants?

When Should You Call a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

While the Attorney is the legal expert, the CLNC® consultant is the expert on the healthcare system and its inner workings. They review medical records and understand 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.

A CLNC® consultant is a registered nurse who has successfully mastered the rigorous CLNC® Certification Program developed by the company that pioneered the field of legal nurse consulting. The CLNC® consultant has the expertise to quickly pinpoint and interpret nursing issues in cases involving health, illness, or injury.
