7. The Nutris Difference: How a Legal Nurse Consultant Can Help You.
As one of the first organized groups of legal nurse consultants in southern California, Nutris was different from the start. In 2010, we saw a need for skilled nurses to assist plaintiffs’ attorneys during defense medical exams. With input and insight from practicing attorneys, we created a network of highly trained nurses who understand not only the medical portion of a DME but also the legal side as well. This combination creates an invaluable service for plaintiff attorneys that saves them time but also ensures that their client and their case is in good hands during defense medical exams.
6. Why Prepping Your Client for a Defense Medical Exam is Crucial
At Nutris, our legal nurse consultants are specially trained to avoid these problems and create a productive environment for the exam. Part of that training is to prepare clients before their exams. Here’s why that is so beneficial.
5. What Your Client Needs to Know about a Defense Medical Exam.
While attending a DME is routine for a plaintiff’s attorney, the majority of clients will not have any experience with this type of exam. That may seem like a ridiculous statement. However, failing to adequately prepare a client for what to expect during a defense medical exam can significantly damage their case. Here are several areas that should be addressed with clients prior to a DME.
4. 3 Questions Your Client Needs to Be Asked Before a Defense Medical Exam
While a defense medical exam may be second nature to an attorney, clients are often in the dark about the DME process. And not fully understanding all the aspects of an exam could be detrimental to the client’s case. That said, there are three important questions that should always be asked of clients prior to a DME.
3. What Is A Legal Nurse Consultant?
An LNC is a registered nurse that has existing expertise as a healthcare professional. They are then trained to consult on medical-related cases. LNC’s are typically utilized during defense medical exams in place of the attorney’s presence at the DME.
2. Plaintiff Do’s and Don’ts in a Defense Medical Exam
While the defense medical exam process is second nature to defense attorneys, it is most often an inaugural experience for the client. This is important because if a plaintiff is not adequately prepared for a DME, they could do or say something that could cause irreparable harm to their case. Here are the dos and don’ts for clients in a defense medical exam.
