Dear
AALNC Members,
We, as
legal nurse consultants, know the value we can bring to medical legal cases and
claims. Attorneys who have worked with
skilled LNCs also recognize and appreciate us as crucial assets and vital
members of the legal team.
Take,
for example, the recent bellwether product liability trial involving Ethicon
transvaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) system.
This case resulted in a $3.27M verdict!
AALNC Director-at-Large Debbie Pritts, an in-house, board-certified LNCC©
for Wexler Wallace LLP, was an integral member of plaintiff’s legal team in the
courtroom. Her contributions played a
direct role in their favorable outcome.
Another
example, on the defense side, is a recent dental malpractice trial in which I
assisted my firm, Fontaine Alissi PC.
Plaintiff alleged that a routine dental procedure caused him to suffer
the onset of trigeminal neuralgia and asked the jury to award nearly $3M. A defendant’s verdict was returned after only a few hours of
deliberation!
What recent success has one of your attorney-clients
celebrated? How did you add value and
contribute to that favorable outcome?
Warmly,
Julie Dickinson
President, AALNC
