Medical imaging is often one of the most decisive—and most misunderstood—elements of a medical malpractice or personal injury case. Many firms wrestle with which studies to request, how to interpret complex imaging findings, and how to communicate clinical insights clearly to experts, opposing counsel, and juries.
This webinar highlights the key role legal nurses often play in supporting these challenges. Many legal teams find that legal nurses bring clinical clarity and workflow efficiency, especially important when imaging and medical records are central to the issue.
We’ll explore how legal nurses contribute throughout the litigation process, including how they help firms:
- Identify clinically significant details early to assist with evaluating case merit
- Determine which imaging should be requested and recognize gaps or missing studies
- Translate imaging findings into clear insights that support a strong legal narrative
- Prepare well-organized, expert-ready case materials to streamline collaboration
- Strengthen overall case strategy through structured clinical analysis and imaging-informed context
You’ll also hear directly from Sarah De La Garza, MSN, RN, a Legal Nurse Consultant with Spencer Fane LLP’s Houston Healthcare Team. Building on more than a decade of advanced critical care experience—including heart failure ICU roles at Memorial Hermann and Methodist DeBakey—Sarah now applies her clinical expertise to medical record review, imaging interpretation within the clinical context, chronology development, and expert coordination. She’ll share practical examples of how clinical insight can shape legal strategy and help firms present stronger, more defensible cases.
Whether your firm handles high-volume personal injury matters or complex medical malpractice litigation, this session will provide a clearer understanding of how legal nurses elevate the imaging review process—from intake through expert engagement—and help legal teams work more effectively with medical data.
