Medical Case Analysis
JLNC consultants provide concise and summarized medical case analysis reports informed by years of experience and knowledge of the standards of care. This will help you highlight the significant medical events and clarify how they fit into the overall case analysis. JLNC will define the applicable standards of care for each case. JLNC will also help you identify and define the deviations, along with the areas of adherence to the applicable standards of care for each case. By assessing the alleged damages and/or injuries a JLNC will identify factors that caused or contributed to the alleged damages and/or injuries in each case.
Chronology Report
A legal case chronology is a chronological and methodical arrangement of the various facts of a legal case that can be easily referred to when required. Such a chronology is very useful for attorneys during case presentation in court as well as in legal discussions. It equips legal professionals to navigate even the most intricate cases. A carefully prepared chronology by JLNC will enable effective communication among all the trial participants, and this will help achieve a favorable case outcome. Attorney’s who request this service will be able to present a strong argument in court, anticipate the arguments the opposite counsel may present, and ultimately secure a favorable judgment.
Medical Literature Research & Review
Authoritative medical literature plays an essential role informing attorneys of the medical standards of care that are pertinent with each medical-legal case. JLNC will conduct literature searches and integrate the literature and standards/guidelines into the case analysis. JLNC will research and analyze the validity and reliability of research studies relied on by all parties. JLNC can expand the attorney’s medical library.
Expert Witness Liason
JLNC will assist attorneys by identifying, locating, and interfacing with expert witnesses. JLNC is able to analyze and compare expert witness reports, as well as other work products. JLNC serves as a liaison between the attorney and health care providers, testifying experts, parties, witnesses, and other consultants. We will also help you prepare witnesses and experts for deposition and trial.
Trial Preparation
JLNC consultants can assist attorneys with trial preparation in many ways. Here are some examples:
by organizing, tab and paginate medical records
identify and recommend potential defendants
assist with preparing interrogatories
assist in exhibit preparation
prepare deposition and trial questions (cross or direct)
review, analyze and summarize depositions, including past testimony
attend depositions, trials, review panels, arbitration and mediation hearings
coordinate and assist in facilitating focus groups and mock trials
Independent Medical Exams Attendance
JLNC is available to attend an independent medical exam (IME) as an observer, documenter, patient representative, and expert. JLNC will apply nursing knowledge and theory to the IME practitioner's methods, and use their understanding of medical health to note how the IME is being recorded. JLNC is also available to communicate with the IME practitioner and raise any objections.
