Resolutionize your firm’s practice!
Having a legal nurse consultant on your team can resolutionize your firm’s practice!
When faced with a challenging or complex client, a legal nurse consultant will often approach the problem with an open mind, assess the situation honestly and then create a practical solution designed to get the job done.
A legal nurse consultant is more than a nurse. They are an expert in the medical field who works with attorneys on difficult cases. Helping them by providing strategic advice and solutions that are based on their extensive knowledge of the medical field.
Why don’t more law firms use Legal Nurse Consultants (LNCs)? A lot of law firms don’t use LNCs because… they don’t know any and many lawyers don’t like to contract out their work (from bad experiences in the past). But that’s all changing. In fact, some of the most successful law firms in the world are now using LNCs to help them win cases and increase their revenue. They’re finding out... it is possible to work with an LNC and have a positive impact on their firms bottom-line. LNCs are helping law firms… Reduce costs and improve efficiency, win cases faster and with less expenditure, make more money per hour with less expenditure, making these law firms more profitable. It’s like adding a second set of eyes and hands to their team. What if you could add a second set of eyes and hands to your litigation team? Would your results be better? You bet! That’s why LNCs are now being used by some of the most successful law firms in the world. So, why aren’t you using LNCs to help your law firm grow? If you are using an overseas agency or an in-house assistant to review your medical records, stop wasting your time and money. Hire an LNC to help you create a long-term, profitable strategy for your law firm.
We’ve all heard the term “legal nurse consultant” before. But what is it exactly? And why does it work so well for some legal firms and not others?
If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I believe in the power of the legal nurse consultant (LNC) to increase client satisfaction, save costs and accelerate your practice.
1. When a law firm has an especially complex case
2. Where there are numerous volumes of medical records
3. When attorneys have differing levels of experience with medical records
4. To increase your clients’ settlements
5. To speed up the process of resolution and take on more cases
6. To avoid taking on cases without merit
7 Or simply when the attorneys need an extra pair of eyes
One of the hardest parts of being a lawyer is trying to put your own thoughts into the minds of other people. You want to help people understand why they should follow your legal advice. But you also want to give them enough time to ask you anything they may need clarification about. To accomplish both things, it's important to know what the legal implications are for your client, if they lose. To understand their injuries and the struggles they are facing medically. Having a nurse on your team can do just that.
While it can sometimes feel tempting to take on cases, especially if you feel that your firm is in the right, many cases are never worth taking on. Take the time to make sure that your case is strong enough to stand up to scrutiny and cross examination. If you think your case could possibly fail, you’ll likely need to approach it from another angle. Legal nurses are trained to evaluate for merit and can spot things in the record that have the potential to destroy your case.
To avoid the pitfalls of accepting a case without merit, ask yourself these questions: What evidence will I need to build a strong case? Will my client be willing to pay for my services? Do I have the time and resources to do this work? If you answer no to any of these, you are better off walking away from the job. Or better yet… Hire an LNC sort through these cases, finding the ones that will make you money.
1. Lawyers make the legal world go round. As clients' primary decision makers, it is vital for clients to understand the forces that impact them... and... feel confident in their lawyer’s ability to make those decisions.
2. The greatest asset an LNC has, is the ability to listen to and understand a lawyer's problems... and then... propose viable alternatives that satisfy the lawyer and improves the client's position.
3. The biggest mistake an LNC can make is trying to solve a lawyer's problem by providing cookie cutter products... instead of... focusing on what is required to win a case.
4. To do this, an LNC must maintain an open mind, have good judgment, and possess objectivity. They must be able to create products and analysis that offers the most bang for the buck.
In conclusion, it’s not enough to just have an awesome product. You need to position it in a way that gives lawyers the confidence that using it will help them win their case.
