FAQ
1. What is a
CLNC?
A
certified legal nurse consultant is an RN with
advanced training in legal nurse consulting.
A CLNC can use their knowledge and
understanding of nursing, medical, and
health-related cases to cause ease,
efficiency, and effectiveness. |
2. What is the difference
between a paralegal and a certified legal nurse
consultant?
| A
paralegal can only research and address
legal issues in your medical-related case(s). A
certified legal nurse consultant can define
standards of care and has “behind the
scenes” knowledge and experience in medical
facilities. Your paralegal could then be
more accessible for only the legal issues on
your cases. |
3. I’m already using a doctor.
Why do I need a nurse?
|
Most doctors are not familiar with current
nursing standards. It is more cost-effective
in having a nurse locate consulting and
expert witnesses in comparison to a doctor. |
4. What types of cases can a
certified legal nurse provide services on?
A
CLNC can consult on:
• Medical and Nursing malpractice
• Products Liability
• Toxic Tort’s
• Environmental Cases
• Workmen’s Compensation (work-related
injuries)
• General Negligence
• Criminal
• Any other case where illness, health, and
injury is an issue. |
