In healthcare-related legal proceedings, nursing expert witnesses can provide essential insights into patient care, treatment, and medical malpractice. They can offer testimony regarding the standard of care, patient safety, and nursing practice and also assist in interpreting medical records to help attorneys understand complex medical issues.
Some examples of where a nursing expert witness may be required include:
Medical malpractice claims related to nursing care, such as medication errors, falls, and pressure ulcers.
Nursing home abuse or neglect cases, where the quality of care provided by the nursing staff may be called into question.
Personal injury cases involving a patient’s nursing care or treatment, such as infections or complications resulting from improper care.
Criminal cases, such as sexual assault or domestic violence cases, where forensic nurses can provide expert testimony regarding the physical effects of the abuse on the victim.
