Clarity in the Chaos: The Role of the Legal Nurse Consultant

In today’s litigation landscape, cases involving medical records, treatment decisions, or adverse outcomes require more than legal knowledge — they demand clinical insight.

That’s where Legal Nurse Consultants (LNCs) step in.

What Exactly Is a Legal Nurse Consultant?

A Legal Nurse Consultant is a licensed registered nurse — often with years of bedside or advanced practice experience — who applies their clinical training to legal cases involving injury, illness, or alleged medical negligence.

At CORE MedLegal Consultants, LLC, we combine over three decades of emergency and trauma care experience with deep knowledge of healthcare standards to help attorneys interpret complex medical documentation and uncover case-critical insights.
