What Should People Who Have Been Injured Look for in an Charlotte, NC, Medical Malpractice Attorney?

JJS has provided decades of representation to those who have been harmed by negligence, resulting in 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 on the part of healthcare providers, these cases are rarely easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly. Victims of negligent care need to feel confident that they will receive personal attention and long-term support from their legal team. For over 40 years, JJS has used its legal and medical knowledge to advocate for injured clients across North Carolina and the United States.

Investigating the evidence. When JJS builds a malpractice case, we pursue the truth, working collaboratively with our network of trusted allies. Our team uses their medical knowledge and extensive investigative resources to determine the extent of the injury and identify the precise evidence available, as well as what additional evidence is needed, to demonstrate the full extent of the injury and its causes to a jury. In a number of previous malpractice cases, JJS’s thorough investigations led to our discovery of evidence and issues other firms missed.
Calculating the damages. The damages inflicted upon victims of medical malpractice include medical costs, but they also go far beyond the actual costs of care. Victims need a law firm that can both provide the resources needed to establish proof of the significant expenses that accompany malpractice injuries, and effectively prove the maximum compensation for future and non-economic damages.

Medical malpractice law firms also must have the financial resources themselves to stay the course in the pursuit of recovery, no matter how long it takes. Major malpractice suits that seek to recover damages for complex and catastrophic injuries can take years to resolve, but inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage quick settlements that are unfairly low.

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

The pursuit of damages for serious medical injuries, which are often considerable, requires an understanding of the vast impact these injuries can have on victims’ lives.

Medical expenses. The most obvious impact is the extensive medical bills that stem from medical errors. These enormous bills are often far beyond the reality of what injured victims and their families can reasonably handle. Between the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and more, medical malpractice creates a lifelong financial burden that is overwhelming and often impossible to recover from.
Lost wages and earning capacity. Medical malpractice cases often seek to recover compensation for an individual’s lost wages or even compensate victims for future wages that will be almost certainly lost as a result of their reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. Non-economic losses are also accounted for in malpractice cases. These include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s legal team has the experience to fully calculate the immense value of these losses.
