Case Screening & Intake Reviews for Attorneys in Florida
Legal Nurse Consultant Services That Bring Medical Clarity to Legal Intake
Medical Records Are Complicated
Deciding whether a case is worth pursuing shouldn’t be.
When attorneys are approached with a potential personal injury, medical malpractice, or wrongful death case, the first challenge is determining whether the case has medical merit. This requires time, clinical insight, and the ability to interpret complex healthcare data — all before discovery even begins.
Melissa Sims, RN, BSN, CLNC, CNLCP, LCP-C, provides professional case screening and intake review services for Florida attorneys. Her work helps attorneys make informed decisions by uncovering critical medical information early in the litigation process.
Why Case Screening Services Matter
Without a clear understanding of the medical facts:
Law firms risk investing in cases with weak or unsupported claims
Critical deadlines may pass while records remain unanalyzed
Complex medical timelines may be misinterpreted or missed
Medical malpractice claims may proceed without clinical alignment
Defense teams may be unprepared for the scope of alleged injuries
Melissa’s services address these problems head-on by bringing focused, medically-informed analysis to your intake process.
