Nursing Malpractice
What is Nursing Malpractice and how does a legal nurse help fight or defend your case? “Defined in a nursing malpractice situation, negligence means the following: The doing of something which a reasonably prudent person would not do, or the failure to do something which a reasonably prudent person would do, under circumstances similar to those shown by the evidence.” (per www.nursingcenter,com.) We are the go-to legal nurse experts for nursing malpractice cases in Michigan and the midwest U.S.
Lohmeier Consulting is well versed in reviewing nursing malpractice cases. With 28 years of nursing experience, we are able to pinpoint breaches in the standards of care of licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing personnel in Michigan, Ohio, and other states. Lohmeier Consulting can assist with explaining the role of the nurse in each case, defining that role, and determining how the standard of care was maintained or breached. We can review the role of the nurse in several different setting such as inpatient hospital, outpatient clinic, diagnostic areas, nursing home and long term care facilities.
Having an experienced Registered Legal Nurse is vital for nursing malpractice cases. Lohmeier Consulting can help you with finding the breaches in standard of care, and discuss possible causation. We can breakdown the record and create graphics and reports to easily show a decline in a patient’s condition and show where intervention was necessary. This is where a legal nurse can be a huge asset and help determine who was at fault.
Sometimes an individual nurse cannot be determined. Sometimes it is an institution itself that can be at fault. We can help by looking at the records to see what trends are recorded by the nurses. These cases may reveal a system wide problem with their nursing staff and training.
Nursing malpractice cases account for some of the biggest settlements for law firms and clients in Michigan and the surrounding areas. Don’t take the chance of using a Legal Nurse who is not seasoned. We are ready to jump in on your case and provide the case review and expertise needed to achieve victory.
