How Long Will a Seattle, WA, 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 Who Have Been Injured Look for in a Seattle, WA, Birth Injury Attorney?

Our legal team has over four decades of experience delivering historic justice for victims of birth injury across the country. Whether injuries are the result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these cases are never easy on those who have been harmed by their healthcare providers. The most severe birth injury cases require a team that can investigate and assess the negligence in order to secure a successful verdict or settlement.

Gathering the evidence. The initial phase of any birth injury case begins with the pursuit of the truth, especially if those responsible have worked to conceal it. We partner with our network of trusted experts and investigators to uncover the events that led to the injury, working to gather all evidence through our own thorough investigative process, even discovering evidence and injuries missed by previous law firms.
Calculating the damages. Part of building a case for victims is calculating fair and appropriate damages. Birth injury victims harmed by catastrophic medical negligence often depend on the damages recovered through legal action in order to pay for medical care and maximize their quality of life.

Furthermore, the reality of complex injuries is that lengthy litigations require that law firms have the resources to sustain a strong case. Birth injury cases can take years to resolve, but too often inexperienced and underfunded firms encourage clients to agree to unfairly low settlements.

Birth injury law firms must have their own financial resources, or they may not be able to withstand the recovery process when these cases go to trial, if necessary.

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

Our extensive network of resources includes our in-house medical experts who advocate for those harmed by birth injury across Washington and throughout the nation. The damages that result from birth injury extend far beyond what may be apparent to less experienced legal teams. The consequences of serious birth injuries that result from catastrophic medical malpractice generally lead to a lifelong financial burden—a stressful cost that never should have fallen on victims in the first place.

Medical expenses. The costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, and rehabilitative care quickly add up to far more than what most families can reasonably afford, even with insurance.
Other care expenses. Other expenses associated with caring for an individual with a significant birth injury include adaptive vehicles for transport, home modifications, access to home care, and other care costs that may not be covered by insurance or may exceed allowable limits.
Lost wages and earning capacity. In addition to the cost of care that will be needed to address the injuries caused by negligent medical treatment, trauma of this degree also affects one’s ability to earn a living.
Non-economic damages. Experienced birth injury law firms like JJS work to secure non-economic losses in medical malpractice cases, such as victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, punitive damages, and emotional distress, allowing us to seek maximum recovery for victims.
