How Long Will an Alexandria, VA, 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 an Alexandria, VA, Birth Injury Attorney?

Backed by over 40 years of medical and legal experience, JJS successfully advocates for the rights of those who have been injured by medical malpractice, including birth injuries. We have spent those decades delivering historic justice for victims impacted by devastating medical malpractice across Virginia and the United States.

Birth injuries can present in many different forms, and in some cases they are the result of a complex timeline of negligent actions on the part of one or many parties. The attorneys who investigate these cases must be particularly attuned to the circumstances of each case, seeking the full truth behind injuries. JJS collaborates with our network of professional investigators and medical experts to build the strongest cases possible.

Investigating the evidence. Our legal team includes our in-house medical experts, and we dig deep to uncover what really happened to cause the injury, including requesting our own labs, evaluations, and examinations. In previous malpractice cases, our thorough investigative process has even led to the discovery of new evidence that other firms missed.
Calculating the damages. The damages inflicted upon victims of birth injury will of course include medical bills, but the harm done goes far beyond the financial costs of even a lifetime of medical treatment.

Furthermore, medical malpractice law firms also must have their own substantial financial resources if they are to take on the lengthy recovery process of these kinds of catastrophic injury cases. Inexperienced and underfunded firms may encourage their clients to agree to settlements that are unjustly low when they are not financially equipped to take these cases to trial.

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

The pursuit of damages for serious medical injuries requires a deep understanding of the extent of the impact these injuries can have on victims’ lives, right from the time of injury.

Medical expenses. Medical costs associated with birth injuries often quickly add up to far more than what families will ever afford, even with insurance. Between the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, and rehabilitative care, the consequences of serious birth injuries often mean a lifelong financial burden—one that never should have happened in the first place.
Lost wages and earning capacity. In addition to the cost of care needed simply to address the physical injuries, catastrophic medical malpractice cases affect one’s ability to earn a living in the future. For example, JJS can seek to recover compensation for an injured mother’s lost wages or even compensate infant victims for the future wages that will be lost as a result of an injured child’s lost wage-earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. The consequences of medical malpractice run deep and extend far beyond what can be seen on a CT scan or X-ray or can be added up through hospital invoices. Experienced firms will be sure to account for the non-economic losses called for by law in their malpractice cases, which can include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress.
