How Long Will a Bridgeport, CT, Birth Injury Attorney Work on Your Case?

Serious birth injury cases are complex and can take years to properly resolve. It’s important to note that, far too often, inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms encourage settlements that are unfairly low. When a firm is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial, especially on a contingency basis, those lawyers often want to move on to their next case—and payday—quickly. JJS has the financial wherewithal to advance substantial case costs on your behalf, putting you in the best possible position to recover the compensation you deserve.

What Results Has Janet, Janet & Suggs Achieved for Birth Injury Clients?

JSS has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of victims in our record-breaking birth injury settlements and trial verdicts, including $33.5 million for a delayed C-section, $24.25 million for failure to diagnose and respond to a child’s airway obstruction, $18 million for incorrect medication being dispensed to a pregnant mother, and $13 million for poor postoperative care.

What Do You Need to Prove a Birth Injury Case?

To prove that you have been the victim of a birth injury as the result of medical negligence, your situation must meet the basic criteria for general malpractice: Duty of care – the healthcare provider you are considering suing was responsible for your or your loved one’s care; Violation of standard of care – the healthcare provider did not act as a reasonably prudent health care provider would act under the same or similar circumstances; Injuries –that negligence or error resulted in injury; Damages – the injury itself resulted in harm to the patient.

What Should People Look for in an Bridgeport, CT, Birth Injury Attorney?

JJS offers over four decades of birth injury recovery experience, delivering historic justice for those who have been harmed in catastrophic medical injury cases. Whether the malpractice is a result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly.

Birth injury lawsuits can be difficult on families, but for over 40 years, JJS has used our legal and medical knowledge to advocate for the injured, affording them an opportunity to recover from their ordeal. This begins with a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each case—in previous cases, JJS’ investigative process has led to discovering evidence other attorneys missed. As is needed in these tough cases, JJS enlists leading industry experts to review and examine clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.

Investigating the evidence. JJS’ malpractice team has the medical knowledge and investigative resources needed to understand what the evidence of injury shows, as well as what additional evidence is needed to demonstrate the full extent of the injury. Birth injury victims have the opportunity to seek damages for their injuries along with answers about what—and who—caused those injuries.
Calculating the damages. Experienced birth injury attorneys like ours have a deep understanding of the full implications of the care and financial needs of those who have been injured by medical error. In building a case that seeks to recover the full extent of damages stemming from the malpractice, JJS enlists a variety of invaluable resources, such as our in-house medical experts and team of professional investigators.

Medical malpractice law firms must also have the financial resources to see a case through to its resolution. Inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on because their team is not financially equipped to handle lengthy severe birth injury cases.

How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Birth Injury?

JJS helps victims of serious injuries resulting from medical malpractice in Bridgeport, CT, through their tenacity in the pursuit of justice and satisfactory damages for serious injuries.

Medical expenses. The extensive medical bills that are the consequence of medical errors are often far beyond the scope of what injured victims and their families can reasonably handle. Those who have been injured by malpractice find themselves responsible for costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much more.
Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases, such as delayed C-section birth injuries, will never be able to earn a living. Birth injury lawsuits can seek to recover compensation for lost wages.
Non-economic damages. Non-economic losses include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. The JJS team has the experience to calculate and then prove the immense value of these damages before a jury or at the settlement table.
