Dying breed

like

Why are you saying a dying breed when so many attorneys are talking about being stressed? Then also is it not better to talk to your experts in an educated way. How much can a legal nurse consultant save you in expert costs. $100/hr is much better than $1500/hr. Also as much as I value some special doctors I have worked with, they have no idea about the patients or how health care works. They do not have time since they go from one patient to another.

Defense firm and we have in-house nurse paralegals. It’s a godsend. Not sure about the cost benefit for plaintiffs or smaller defense firms.

I’m a plaintiffs attorney but I still think the benefit would outweigh the cost on any case with rather complicated medical treatment as long as it’s not crazy expensive.

Why do you say a dying breed? Doctors do not read documentation , they know the nurse will relay what is going on and they need to know. These are only a few reasons Legal Nurse Consultants will continue to be need.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
