What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in a Little Rock Medical Malpractice Attorney?
When victims of medical malpractice are represented by JJS, they get a team with decades of experience delivering historic justice for those who have suffered needlessly from catastrophic medical errors. We want our clients to understand that major malpractice cases are not easy, and they are not usually resolved quickly. Insurance companies and healthcare facilities often try to drag out malpractice cases in order to wear down victims or even prevent them from filing suit in the first place. While successful malpractice lawsuits can be quite tough, victims should have confidence that they will receive compassionate, professional support from their legal team—right from the moment they make their initial contact with a law firm. Working with JJS means those harmed by medical malpractice will have legal representation driven by medical and legal knowledge and experience.
The most egregious errors made in health care are the kind that hospitals and providers want swept under the rug. JJS will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the exact cause of injury and its life-altering impacts.
- The evidence that proves medical error. Our firm has the medical knowledge and investigative/legal resources needed to uncover the truth behind victims’ injuries. When we build a case we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of the extent of negligence that contributed to injury, and the evidence to back it up. With our resources, clients have a chance to seek not only financial recovery for the harm done to them but to also reveal the answers that can be so vital in the process of physical and emotional recovery.
- The cost of treatment and other damages. In order to build a case that fully addresses the needs of severely injured victims of medical error, lawyers must have a deep understanding of the scope of victims’ past, current, and future medical care as well as how to argue the impact of this care in court. JJS enlists all possible resources, including our in-house medical experts, in order to arrive at a thorough assessment of plaintiffs’ injuries and needs.
When selecting a law firm to represent complex medical malpractice cases, it is important to know the firm has not only the ability but the financial resources to build the strongest case possible for victims, no matter how long that takes. Inexperienced and underfunded firms often encourage clients to agree to insufficient settlements early in the process, which is often a sign that a firm is not equipped to take the most serious malpractice cases to trial.
How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?
JJS helps victims of medical malpractice in Little Rock, AR recover damages for the harms that have been inflicted upon them by the very people who were supposed to provide them care.
- Medical expenses: Plaintiffs’ medical bills often include emergency room visits, inpatient treatment, surgeries, medication, rehabilitative care, and more. Often, serious injuries result in a lifetime of medical care, and malpractice claims can seek recovery for the costs victims have already incurred and for the bills to come. Injured patients should not have to be responsible for the medical bills that result from medical negligence.
- Loss of wages or earning capacity: The injuries caused by medical providers’ negligent actions can impact victims’ ability to do their jobs for a long time and, in many cases of serious injury, permanently. When malpractice injury impacts one’s ability to earn a living, they can seek financial compensation for their lost wages and the future wages that will be lost as a result of their impaired earning capacity.
- Non-economic losses: Non-economic damages that result from medical malpractice can be difficult for those who are inexperienced or unfamiliar with the complexities of how impactful malpractice injuries can be on victims. JJS has the experience to maximize the fair compensation for victims’ pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, emotional distress, and other impacts allowable under Arkansas medical malpractice laws.
