Case Study
Deposition Assistance

Two of our top legal nurse consultants teamed up for a challenging knee replacement orthopedic case! After the depositions were taken, including the Defendant, there were a total of 4 depositions. There was a wide variety of potential surgical issues discussed during the depositions. In all, 79 aspects of the surgery, the plaintiff’s history, and pre-/post-care were discussed at the depositions.
Our nurses were asked to read the plaintiff and defense expert reports, compare them to the medical records, and suggest areas of concern or strengths to question the experts.
Our nurses took on the task of summarizing each deposition and creating a table to quickly identify variations in the 4 doctors’ opinions, with notes comparing evidence in the medical record. This provided the attorney with the in-depth line-by-line analysis to understand each opinion, issue, and prepare rebuttals.
