Q: How Long Will a Prince George’s County, MD, 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 Should People Who Have Been Injured Look for in a Prince George's County, MD, Birth Injury Attorney?

Whether birth injuries are the result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct on the part of healthcare providers, JJS provides personalized attention and dedicated service in every case we take on. Our team works to get our clients their maximum recovery, and we have over 40 years of experience delivering historic justice for victims of medical malpractice throughout the United States.

We investigate the evidence. The discovery phase of a birth injury case starts with the most basic commitment of advocacy: the pursuit of the truth. JJS collaborates with our network of trusted allies to uncover the events and actions that caused the client’s injuries, never ignoring an opportunity to uncover new evidence when necessary. Our thorough investigative process has led to the discovery of crucial evidence that was missed by other firms.
We calculate the damages. There are countless ways birth injuries impact babies, mothers, and families, and we know that calculable harm goes far beyond just what a lifetime of medical treatment will cost. Victims also need a law firm that can present proof of the full breadth of the impacts of catastrophic birth injury and a firm that is not afraid to go all the way in seeking compensation for pain and suffering and injured victims’ diminished quality of life.

Furthermore, birth injury law firms also must have their own substantial financial resources if they are to fully take on a lengthy recovery process with their clients. Catastrophic birth injury cases can take years to resolve, and it’s not every firm that can stay the course. Far too often, inexperienced and underfunded firms expect their clients to agree to settlements that are unjustly low.

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

JJS works with our network of extensive resources, including expert witnesses, investigators, and our in-house medical experts, to represent injured clients across Iowa and the nation. The damages sustained in birth injury cases extend far beyond what may be apparent to less experienced eyes.

Medical expenses. Medical costs associated with birth injury often quickly add up to far more than what families can reasonably afford to cover, even with medical insurance. Between the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much, much more, the consequences of serious birth injuries resulting from medical malpractice generally mean a lifelong financial burden that never should have fallen on the victims in the first place.
Lost wages and earning capacity. In addition to the cost of medical care needed simply to address the physical injuries, catastrophic birth injury cases affect one’s ability to earn a living in the future. JJS can seek to recover damages for an injured mother’s lost wages or even to recover compensation for infant victims’ lack of future earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. The consequences of birth injury are significant, often extending far beyond what can be seen on a scan or added up in hospital bills. The law accounts for non-economic losses in medical malpractice cases, such as victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress, and experienced law firms have the knowledge and resources to maximize those damages.
