How Long Will a Louisville, KY, 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 a Louisville, KY, Birth Injury Lawyer?

JJS’s birth injury lawyers have over 40 years experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed by catastrophic medical errors. Our advocacy for birth injury victims begins with our deep dig into the circumstances surrounding each case that we accept. We enlist a variety of resources to build strong cases, including our in-house medical experts and our team of professional investigators.

We investigate the evidence. Our network of professional investigators and medical experts dig into medical records, laboratory evidence, witness statements, and more as they build a case that demonstrates evidence of catastrophic injury and proves which parties are responsible.
We calculate the damages. Our team then uses their findings to assess the full implications of the injury, including the present and future medical and financial needs of those who have been injured. This allows us to calculate damages fully in order to seek the maximum amount of recovery for victims.

Birth injury firms must also have the financial resources themselves to effectively pursue full compensation for damages. Inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage victims to agree to settlements that are unfairly low early on in the process, resulting in victims missing out on their full possible recovery.

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

JJS helps victims of serious birth injuries in Louisville, KY, through their compassionate yet aggressive pursuit of financial recovery for damages.

Medical expenses. Victims of birth injury and their families often find themselves saddled with enormous medical bills. From inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and more. By filing suit against negligent healthcare providers, JJS can help clients seek financial compensation for past, current, and even future medical care expenses.
Lost wage-earning capacity. The truth is the majority of victims of catastrophic birth injuries will not be able to live independently or ever earn a living to support themselves, especially in cases of brain injury. Medical malpractice lawsuits can recover compensation for lost future wages and provide opportunities for a better quality of life.
Non-economic damages. Birth injuries also result in severe non-economic damages. These calculable damages include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s birth injury division works to prove the immense value of these kinds of non-economic damages.
