What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in a Phoenix, AZ, Medical Malpractice Attorney?
JJS offers victims of medical malpractice decades of experience delivering historic justice for those who have suffered tremendously as a result of medical negligence and error. Major malpractice cases are not easy, and they are not typically resolved quickly. Defendants often try to avoid paying out compensation in medical malpractice cases by wearing down victims or even by discouraging them from following through with their case. Because of the high stakes, malpractice lawsuits are quite tough, which is why victims should be confident that they will receive long-term support from the law firm tasked with working toward justice for their injury. Being represented by JJS means that those who have been harmed by medical providers will experience the personal attention they need and deserve.
Sometimes, the most serious errors made by medical providers are the kind that hospitals and providers do not want to acknowledge, so JJS will use their extensive legal/medical knowledge and experience to conduct a thorough investigation. JJS works with leading industry experts to help investigate clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.
- Evidence of medical error: JJS has the medical knowledge and investigative team that is needed to uncover the truth of medical malpractice victims’ injuries. When we build a case against defendants, we pursue extensive evidence that proves the extent of victims’ injury and the negligence that caused it. With our network of trusted allies who provide expert testimony and investigative skills, victims have a chance to seek not only financial recovery for their injuries but also find answers to their questions about their injuries that can be crucial to their process of physical and emotional recovery.
- Cost of damages: Medical malpractice lawyers must deeply understand the clinical and legal scope of victims’ past, current, and future medical care as well as how to argue the impact of this care in court to build a case that fully addresses the needs of severely injured victims of medical error. In order to build those strong cases, JJS enlists a variety of valuable resources, including our in-house medical experts.
When choosing a law firm that can represent major medical malpractice cases, plaintiffs need to be sure the firm has the skill as well as the financial resources to pursue fair compensation for damages, no matter how long it takes. Inexperienced and underfunded firms who encourage clients to agree to unfair settlements early in the process might be doing so because they are not equipped to take these cases to trial.
How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?
JJS helps victims of medical malpractice in Phoenix, AZ, by recovering damages for the harms that have been inflicted upon them.
- Medical expenses: Post-malpractice injury medical bills often include inpatient treatment, additional or repeated surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, rehabilitative care, and much more. Quite often, the most serious injuries will result in a lifetime of medical needs. Malpractice claims will seek to recover for past, ongoing, and future costs. Injured patients should not have to be responsible for the medical bills that were entirely preventable in the first place had the patient not been the victim of negligence.
- Lost wages and earning capacity: Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases will never be able to earn a living. If they are able to return to work, it may be in a limited capacity or an entirely new profession. Under the law, when malpractice impacts one’s potential to earn a living or results in missed work after the injury, those who have been injured can seek financial compensation. This compensation can be for the actual amount of lost wages as well as the future wages that will be lost as a result of victims’ reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
- Non-economic losses. Medical malpractice claims also allow injured people to seek damages for their non-economic losses. These are damages that result from medical malpractice but may not have an exact dollar amount attached. JJS has the experience to maximize compensation for victims’ non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, emotional distress, and other impacts allowable under Arizona medical malpractice laws.
