What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in a Pittsburgh, PA, Medical Malpractice Attorney?
JJS offers decades of experience in delivering historic justice for those impacted by catastrophic medical injury as a result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct. These kinds of serious malpractice cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly. Defendants often try to wear down victims during the process of seeking financial recovery as a strategy for avoiding big payouts. Because of this, medical malpractice lawsuits are often difficult for those who have been injured, and why victims need to be confident that they will receive long-term support from their legal team.
We use our extensive legal and medical knowledge to advocate for our clients, starting with conducting a thorough investigation of each case—in previous cases, JJS’ thorough investigation process has led to discovering evidence other attorneys have missed in their review of clients’ cases. JJS enlists leading industry experts to help understand clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.
- Uncovering the evidence. There is no case without the evidence to prove it, and JJS’ medical malpractice team has the medical knowledge and investigative resources needed to uncover the truth. When JJS builds a malpractice case, we pursue the truth, proving the extent of victims’ injuries and the negligence that caused it. Using our network of trusted allies in medical negligence cases, malpractice victims have a chance to seek both damages for their injuries and answers to any lingering questions about what happened to them.
- Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys have a deep understanding of the full extent of the medical and financial needs of victims and their families. In building a case that presents the full scope of the damages stemming from the injury, JJS enlists a variety of invaluable resources, including our in-house medical experts.
Medical malpractice law firms must also have the financial resources to pursue fair compensation for damages, no matter how long it takes. Major malpractice cases can take years to resolve, and inexperienced, underfunded firms often encourage unfair settlements needlessly early on because the firm is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial on contingency.

How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?
JJS helps victims of serious injuries resulting from medical malpractice in Pittsburgh, PA, by working to recover the extensive damages that result from these injuries.
- Medical expenses. The vast medical bills that follow medical errors are generally devastating to victims’ families. Being responsible for costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, and medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much more, is overwhelming and often impossible to recover from financially. Additionally, the most serious malpractice injuries result in a lifetime of medical needs, which can include adaptive equipment and ongoing treatments or assistance. Malpractice lawsuits can recover financial compensation for past, ongoing, and even future expenses that injured patients should never have been responsible for paying.
- Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases will never be able to earn a living to support themselves. If the injured person is an adult at the time of injury, they may be able to return to work, but it often is in a limited capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. Medical malpractice claims can recover compensation both for the actual amount of lost wages as well as compensate victims for future wages that will be almost certainly lost as a result of victims’ reduced or eliminated earning capacity or ongoing medical issues.
- Non-economic losses. Medical malpractice lawsuits also provide a way for injured people to recover damages for their non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS has the experience to properly calculate and prove the immense value of these non-economic damages when determining the clients’ fair compensation.
