What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in an Atlanta, GA, Medical Malpractice Attorney?

JJS’s medical malpractice lawyers have decades of malpractice legal experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed in major medical injury cases. Whether the malpractice was the result of a provider’s negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these cases are not easy, and are rarely resolved quickly. During the legal process, healthcare providers and their lawyers often try to wear down those who have been injured, using delay tactics as a strategy to avoid facing responsibility.

Because of these stall tactics and other strategies used to make cases difficult, medical malpractice lawsuits are stressful on those who have been injured. This is why victims of medical malpractice need to feel confident that they have partnered with a firm that will give them personal attention and support throughout the duration of the case.

For over 40 years, JJS’s medical malpractice division has used its legal and medical experience to advocate for its clients. This advocacy begins with a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each case—in some previous cases successfully resolved by our firm, JJS’s investigative process has led to discovering evidence that other attorneys missed. In working toward recovery, JJS enlists leading industry experts to review and examine clients’ injuries and build strong cases.

Investigating the evidence. JJS’s team has the medical knowledge and investigative resources, including our network of trusted allies, needed to find evidence of catastrophic injury, understand what the evidence of injury shows, and demonstrate the full extent of the injury.
Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys like the team at JJS use their deep understanding of the full implications of the medical and financial needs of those who have been injured by medical error to avoid unfair settlements. To recover the full extent of damages stemming from negligence, JJS depends on a variety of resources, including our in-house medical experts.

In addition to being able to build a strong case, medical malpractice law firms must also have the financial resources to last the fight when it comes to the pursuit of fair compensation for damages. Major malpractice cases, like those for complex and catastrophic injury, can take years. Because of this, inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on in the process. If a firm is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial on a contingency basis, then clients may not see maximum financial recovery.

How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?

JJS helps the victims of serious medical malpractice injuries in Atlanta, GA, through the pursuit of financial recovery for damages. In cases of significant injury, these damages are extensive and difficult for an inexperienced legal team to calculate thoroughly.

Medical expenses. The medical bills that are the consequence of medical errors are often far beyond the scope of what injured victims and their families can afford, even with insurance. People who have been injured by malpractice often find themselves responsible for the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much more. This hardship can be overwhelming and often impossible to recover from financially. Additionally, serious malpractice injuries can result in a lifetime of medical and assistance needs, including adaptive equipment, ongoing treatments, and caregiver support. Filing suit against negligent practitioners can help clients recover financial compensation for past, current, and even future anticipated expenses.
Lost wage-earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice, such as delayed C-section birth injuries, will never be able to earn a living to support themselves. Those who are injured as adults may not be able to return to work, or if they are able to it is often in a limited or modified capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. Medical malpractice lawsuits can recover compensation for actual lost wages, and they can even compensate victims for future wages that will be lost as a result of their reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. When someone has been harmed by medical malpractice, filing a claim against the providers or institutions responsible offers a way for injured people to recover damages for their non-economic losses. These damages can include an injured person’s pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s medical malpractice division has the experience and resources to prove the immense value of these kinds of non-economic damages in front of a jury or at the settlement table.
