Independent Medical Exam (IME) Attendance 

Nurses are trained observers that have distinct assessment skills essential to strengthen your case. Attendance at IME's by a Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC) will provide attorney's with medical observation of the examination process, give key insight on the examination, and provide verbal and/or typed summary reports post examination. Nurses could serve as a silent observer with the nursing/medical knowledge and expertise.

Life Care Planning

Nurses trained in Life Care Planning are able to determine future medical treatment and costs for those disabled by an injury or chronic debilitating disease.   Training and experienced Life Care Planners will develop a comprehensive plan, collaborate with the medical treatment team, and evaluate the client to determine the long term treatment and costs associated with the disability.  Life Care Planning is essential in extensive personal injury cases.

Medical Cost Projections

Determining future medical costs are key to valuing your case or setting reserves for claims.  Nurses experienced in performing Medical Cost Projections will bring insurmountable value to your case and save you time trying to navigate the medical system on your own to get the answers.
