We provide the knowledge framework that ensures their clients do not settle inadequately with Medicare."

Buddenhagen has a 30-year clinically active nursing background based in a variety of medical disciplines, including critical care.

"Our firm provides skills that only an experienced nurse with legal nurse consulting certification can bring to a legal practice," she said. "And, our attorney-clients appreciate the fact that our hourly fees are much lower than an MD's. Our legal nurse consultants find the devil in the details like no other medical professionals can.

--- causation and damages
--- the cause of injury
--- medical malpractice issues
--- the injured person's daily life, lifestyle changes and medical history

"Attorneys often ask us at what point they should call in a legal nurse consultant," said Buddenhagen. "We always have the same answer: the sooner the better. Early intervention by a legal nurse consultant yields the best results."
