Victims have a chance to seek not only financial recovery for their injuries but also to find answers to their questions about their injuries that can be crucial to their process of physical and emotional recovery.
- Cost of damages: Birth injury 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 or at the settlement table. In order to build those strong cases, JJS enlists a variety of valuable resources, including our in-house medical experts and team of professional investigators.
Birth injuries law firms must have the knowledge and resources to dig deeply into the failures of healthcare providers and institutions that caused the injuries. They must also have the financial resources to pursue fair compensation for damages in the most severe cases. 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 a just and appropriate conclusion.
