Mediation

Criminal case mediation requires a deep understanding of the facts, and in cases where medical evidence plays a role, misinterpretations can derail negotiations. A forensic trial nurse offers the crucial medical expertise needed to evaluate evidence objectively, providing clarity that can help parties reach more informed, fair resolutions during mediation.

A forensic trial nurse assisting in criminal case mediation can:

Analyze medical records and forensic evidence, offering an unbiased review to uncover inconsistencies or clarify key facts.

Interpret injury mechanisms, helping both parties understand how injuries may have occurred, whether in self-defense, by accident, or through other means. •

Provide alternative medical explanations, such as underlying conditions or medication effects, that could impact the legal narrative.

Explain complex medical terminology in clear, understandable language, facilitating better communication between parties during negotiations.

Support case settlement discussions by offering expert medical testimony that can help bring both sides closer to agreement, saving time, resources, and the need for trial.

In criminal case mediation, medical evidence can be a decisive factor. A forensic trial nurse helps attorneys present this evidence accurately and ensures that all medical aspects are considered during the negotiation process.
