Plaintiff Support Services
Plaintiff Support Services brings structure and calm to what is often the most intimidating event in a personal injury case: the Defense Medical Exam. Our Registered Nurses walk alongside your client from first briefing through post‑exam follow‑up, so they are never left to navigate the process alone.
Preparation begins well before the appointment. We contact the plaintiff, explain what a Defense Medical Exam is in plain language, and review what will-and will not-take place. This pre‑exam preparation includes discussing practical details (arrival time, what to bring, medication needs) and reinforcing the limits of the exam so the client understands appropriate conduct and feels more in control.
On the day of the exam, our nurses provide steady emotional support. We read body language, monitor pain and fatigue, and help the client communicate when they need a pause or cannot safely perform a maneuver. Knowing that a clinical professional is present solely for them reduces fear, improves cooperation, and often leads to a more accurate reflection of their true functional status.
Equally important, we keep the information flow organized. Our communication with your office before and after the visit means you know whether the exam started on time, how long it lasted, what types of testing were performed, and whether there were concerns about safety or scope. Clients frequently disclose key details during or immediately after these encounters; we capture those remarks and route them back to counsel so they can inform your next steps.
Following the exam, we check in with the plaintiff, answer questions about what occurred, and assess for any delayed physical or emotional impact. This follow‑up support reassures clients that they remain under your firm's protective umbrella and ensures that important post‑exam observations are not overlooked.
