What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in a Wichita, KS, Medical Malpractice Attorney?

JJS’s medical malpractice lawyers have decades of malpractice legal experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed in catastrophic medical injury cases. Whether injuries result from negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these kinds of cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly. This is why victims need to feel confident that they will receive personal attention and long-term advocacy from the firm representing them.

For over 40 years, JJS has used its legal and medical knowledge to advocate for injured patients. This process begins with a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each case—in fact, in previous cases, JJS’s investigative process has led to the discovery of evidence that other attorneys missed. As is often needed in these tough cases, JJS enlists leading industry experts to review and examine clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.

Investigating the evidence. JJS’s malpractice team has the medical knowledge and investigative resources needed to understand what the evidence of injury shows, as well as what additional evidence is needed to demonstrate the full extent of the injury. When JJS builds a malpractice case, we pursue the truth using our network of trusted allies. This means medical malpractice victims have the opportunity to seek damages for their injuries along with answers about what happened to them.
Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys like those at JJS have a deep understanding of the full implications of the medical and financial needs of those who have been injured by medical error. In building a case that seeks to recover the full extent of damages stemming from negligence, JJS uses a variety of invaluable resources, including in-house medical experts.

Medical malpractice law firms must also have the financial resources to last the fight when it comes to the pursuit of fair compensation for damages. Major malpractice cases for complex and catastrophic injury can take years. Inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on because their team is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial on a contingency basis. JJS, on the other hand, has the resources to go all the way.

How Can Janet, Janet & Suggs Help Victims of Medical Malpractice?

JJS helps victims of serious injuries resulting from medical malpractice in Wichita, KS, by persisting in the pursuit of damages for serious injuries, which are often extensive and difficult for an inexperienced legal team to calculate completely.

Medical expenses. Medical bills that exceed six figures are not unusual in cases of catastrophic medical injuries. These financial burdens extend far beyond the scope of what most injured victims and their families can reasonably manage, yet those who have been injured by malpractice find themselves responsible for extensive medical treatment costs. Hospital stays, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much more can overwhelm a family's finances and are often impossible to recover from. Additionally, major malpractice injuries can result in a lifetime of medical care needs, including adaptive equipment, ongoing treatments, and caregiver assistance.
Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of medical malpractice will never be able to earn a living. In the case of those who are injured as adults, they may not be able to return to work. When future work is possible, it often is in a limited capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. This very real financial loss is why malpractice suits can seek to recover compensation for both actual lost wages and even future wages that will be almost certainly lost as a result of an individual’s reduced or eliminated wage-earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. Filing a lawsuit when someone has been harmed by medical malpractice can also provide a way for injured people to recover damages for their non-economic losses. This includes their pain and suffering and reduced quality of life, along with their emotional distress. JJS’s team has the experience to prove the immense value of these non-economic damages before a jury.
