What Should You Look for in a Newark Medical Malpractice Attorney?
When you hire JJS, you will be part of a team with decades of experience delivering historic justice for others who have suffered tremendously from medical error. Malpractice cases are not easy, and they are not usually resolved quickly. Insurance companies and healthcare facilities will often try to drag out cases in order to wear down injured patients.
You should be able to feel confident that you will receive long-term support from your lawyer—right from day one. Working with JJS means getting legal representation driven by extensive knowledge and experience. We build cases based on thorough investigation of all factors:
- What the evidence says. Our firm has the medical knowledge and investigative/legal resources needed to pursue the truth while building your case. Through our efforts, you will have a chance to not only seek financial recovery for the harm done to you, but to get answers that may help you heal.
- What your treatment costs. In order to build a case that addresses the needs of severely injured victims of medical practice, the lawyers who represent them must understand the scope of victims’ past, current, and future needs when it comes to medical care. When preparing a case that seeks to recover the appropriate compensation, we put to work all possible resources, including our in-house medical experts.
- What it takes to fight all the way. When choosing a law firm to represent your case, it is important that you know the firm has the financial resources to build the strongest case possible for you, no matter how long that takes. Taking on a case against big insurance companies or healthcare organizations can take years, and an inexperienced, underfunded firm may encourage clients to accept unfair settlements. Advising you to take a low settlement early on in the legal process may mean that a firm is not equipped to take your case to trial.

How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?
When fighting for victims of medical malpractice in Newark, JJS helps clients to recover financial compensation for the damages that have been inflicted upon them by the very people who were tasked with helping them.
- Medical expenses. You should not be held responsible for past, current, or future medical bills resulting from medical negligence. Whether those bills include emergency room visits, inpatient treatment, surgeries, or even a lifetime of medical care, your malpractice claim can seek recovery for the costs you have already incurred—and the bills to come.
- Loss of wages or earning capacity. The injuries caused by medical providers’ negligent actions can impact your ability to do your job for months, or sometimes forever. When your malpractice injury impacts your ability to earn a living and support yourself or your family, you can seek financial compensation for your lost wages. In many cases, compensation for lost future earning capacity may also be available to you.
- Non-economic losses. New Jersey laws concerning medical malpractice provide victims of medical errors the right to seek an unlimited amount of compensation for their non-economic damages in addition to the actual costs incurred as a result of the injury. These kinds of non-economic damages include pain and suffering and diminished quality of life. Experienced malpractice attorneys know how to best calculate the amount of compensation to seek for non-economic damages.

In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice suit is generally two years after the “cause of action” occurs. Depending on the circumstances, this may not be the moment the negligent action takes place but the time you learn of the injury. Regardless of the timing of the medical error, you should speak with an attorney as soon as you suspect something is wrong so that a legal professional can help you understand how the statute of limitations—the period of time in which you can file a lawsuit—applies in your case. Acting quickly to seek legal help can make a big difference in protecting your rights and in giving your lawyer a better chance to help you win your case.
