Malpractice, Nursing Standards of Care, Nurse Negligence and Court
Cases involving LNCs. In addition, NALNC provides a national
database of recent medical malpractice cases for all 50 states
(available to members only). These cases provide valuable insight
to the legal-medical community and should be carefully studied by all
LNCs.

How LNCs benefit the legal-medical community:
Legal Nurse Consultants work
as a liaison between the legal and health care professions utilizing
their nursing experience in a number of ways, such as interpretation of
medical information and by offering insight into compliance with
standards of care and whether alleged wrongful acts are related to
claimed injuries and damages. Our Certified Legal Nurse Consultants are
taught LNC standards of practice, Nursing Standards of Care,
fundamentals of the law, the litigation process, court procedures,
expert witness rules, report writing, ethics and testimony skills.
Most LNCs are principals in private practice and
work by hourly rate or contract terms. On an average, you can
expect to pay from $75 to $150 per hour for a qualified LNC.
Other LNCs work in law firms specializing in personal injury, medical
malpractice, toxic torts, product liability and workers' compensation,
insurance companies, hospitals, government agencies, and risk
management organizations.
Services provided by LNCs include:
- Review, analyze and interpret medical records
and related medical documents and prepare reports succinctly
summarizing that information.
- Act as a consultant on health care issues to
attorneys in diverse legal settings.
- Identify standard of care issues and
relationship to claimed injuries and damages.
- Develop and build a practice as an independent
consultant and nursing expert witness.
