About Us

MedView is a full-service Legal Nurse Consulting firm that specializes in helping attorneys recover settlements and awards for persons injured by the negligence of others.

We enjoy a good challenge, and we live for the opportunities that present complex medical issues for dissection and reconstruction into a complete picture of your case. Two decades of experience solving complex puzzles gives us room to think outside the box, leading to creative yet practical solutions to complicated problems. The next time you face a problem that seems impossible to overcome, we invite you to put our practical experience and creative thinking to the test.

Medical malpractice occurs when a health-care provider deviates from the recognized “standard of care” in the treatment of a patient. The “standard of care” is defined as what a reasonably prudent medical provider would or would not have done under the same or similar circumstances. Standards of Care are not A+ but rather a C average across the nation.

We are ready to assist your law firm through every step of the litigation process, getting the highest possible award for your client.
