STAT Justice Legal Nurse Consulting

You Need an Expert on Your Side, Especially with High-Stakes Litigation

New York has the highest total medical malpractice payout in the country, second highest total claims in the country, and a median reward almost ten times the national average. By working with an LNC, you can ensure that your time is being well utilized while leaving the medical jargon to us. We will transform copious pages of medical records into something manageable, comprehensive, and ready for your expertise.

LNC’s Make More Sense Than Other Options

While paralegals may be able to organize your medical records, they are not medical experts and may overlook vital information such as errors, omissions, deviations from standard of care, or identification of important documents or potential witnesses. 

On the other side, medical doctors can be utilized for their medical expertise, but their time is traditionally exponentially more expensive than that of an LNC. Furthermore, although physicians assess patients and prescribe treatments, nurses may have a broader scope in practice than that of a medical doctor, as nurses work with a multi-disciplinary team including various physicians, other nurses, and support staff. Nurses carry out the treatments, measure and assess pain, educate patients, and record responses to interventions more frequently than physicians. Physicians may also have the tendency to speak in complex medical terms that make it difficult for the legal team, their clients, and juries to understand. Nurses have the knowledge to interpret this complex terminology and convey it in a simpler, more understandable manner.
