What Should People Who Have Been Injured Look for in a Providence, RI, Medical Malpractice Attorney?
JJS offers our clients decades of malpractice legal experience in delivering historic justice for those who have been harmed in catastrophic medical injury cases. Whether the malpractice is a result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly. Victims need to feel confident that they will receive personal attention and long-term support from their team when it comes to building a case.
- Investigate the evidence. JJS’s malpractice team understands what the documented evidence of injury means in proving malpractice, as well as what additional evidence needs to be gathered and documented. When JJS builds a malpractice case, we use our network of trusted allies to bring to light the full truth of medical errors, even if the patients’ existing records do not.
- Calculate the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys like those at JJS have a deep understanding of the full implications of victims’ injuries, including their medical and financial needs. In building a case that seeks to recover the full extent of damages stemming from the negligence, JJS uses a variety of invaluable resources, such as our in-house medical experts.
JJS has used our legal and medical knowledge to advocate for our injured clients for over 40 years. Starting from the beginning of each case, JJS performs a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each injury—in fact, our investigations are so thorough that we often uncover evidence attorneys from other firms have missed.
However, medical malpractice law firms also must have the financial resources to last the fight when it comes to the pursuit of fair compensation for damages, no matter how long it takes. These major malpractice cases can take years, so inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage clients to settle early for damages that are unfairly low. When a firm is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial on a contingency basis, clients may not see fair compensation.
How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?
JJS helps Providence victims of serious medical malpractice by persisting in the pursuit of fair compensation. The damages in these cases are extensive and difficult to calculate for less experienced legal teams.
- Medical expenses. Malpractice victims will almost certainly find themselves responsible for medical bills stemming from inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and other medical care. These quickly multiplying bills result in a financial burden that is overwhelming and often impossible to recover from. In addition to the immediate care needs after medical injury, most serious malpractice injuries result in a lifetime of care needs, including medical treatment, adaptive equipment, and caregiver assistance.
- Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases will never be able to earn a living or support themselves independently. Even if the injured person is an adult at the time of injury, they may not be able to return to the same job they once had. If they are able to return to work at all, it often is in a limited capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. Victims can seek to recover compensation for their actual lost wages and even for future wages that will be almost certainly lost as a result of their reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages. Non-economic damages may not have receipts to show their cost, but JJS’s team has the experience to calculate and then prove their immense value before a jury or at the settlement table. Non-economic damages include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress.
