How Long Will an Atlanta, GA, 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 Look for in an Atlanta, GA, Birth Injury Attorney?

JJS’s medical malpractice lawyers have decades of legal experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed by catastrophic medical errors, including birth injury. Healthcare providers’ lawyers often try to wear down victims during the legal process, but JJS’s medical malpractice division has spent over 40 years successfully advocating for our clients, sheltering them from those shameful tactics.

Our advocacy begins with a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each case—in some previous cases successfully resolved by our firm, JJS’s investigative process led to the discovery of critical evidence previous attorneys missed.

Investigating the evidence. Our team has the medical knowledge and investigative resources, including our network of professional investigators and medical experts, to find evidence of catastrophic injury, understand what the evidence of injury shows, and demonstrate the full extent of the injury.
Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys, like the team at JJS, use their deep understanding of the full extent of medical and financial needs of those injured by medical error to avoid hasty, unfair settlements. JJS enlists a variety of resources, including our in-house medical experts, who can accurately calculate the scope of the cost of future care.

Birth injury firms must also have the financial resources to last the fight when it comes to the pursuit of fair compensation for damages. Inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on in the process. If a firm is not financially equipped to take on major malpractice cases, clients may not see maximum financial recovery.

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

JJS helps the victims of serious medical malpractice injuries in Atlanta, GA, through the pursuit of financial recovery for damages. In cases of significant injury, these damages are extensive and difficult for an inexperienced legal team to calculate thoroughly.

Medical expenses. People who have been injured by malpractice often find themselves responsible for the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication, medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much more. Filing suit against negligent practitioners can help clients recover financial compensation for past, current, and even future expenses.
Lost wage-earning capacity. Those who are injured at birth will likely never be able to support themselves financially. If they are able to work at all later in life, it is often in a limited or modified capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. Medical malpractice lawsuits can recover compensation for actual lost wages, and they can even compensate victims for future wages that will be lost as a result of victims’ reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. When someone has been harmed by medical malpractice, filing a claim against the providers or institutions responsible offers a way for injured people to recover damages for their non-economic losses. These damages can include an injured person’s pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s medical malpractice division has the experience and resources to prove the immense value of these kinds of non-economic damages in front of a jury or at the settlement table.

What Results Has Janet, Janet & Suggs Achieved for Our Clients?

For decades, the attorneys of JJS have been fighting for the rights of injured people. They do this by uncovering medication, hospital, and doctor errors, and by leading class-action lawsuits against dangerous drugs, unsafe products, and defective medical devices. JJS has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured victims in successful settlements and trial verdicts.

$33.5 Million for Delayed C-Section: In Tennessee, a jury awarded this record-breaking verdict after determining doctors’ negligent actions in delaying a medically necessary Cesarean section resulted in the baby developing severe brain damage as well as cerebral palsy.
$24.25 Million for Failure to Diagnose: Another record-breaking medical malpractice verdict was awarded by a Washington, D.C., jury after doctors neglected to diagnose and respond to a child’s airway obstruction, causing her to suffer preventable brain damage and cerebral palsy.
$18 Million for Medication Error: This settlement against a pharmacy was for a medical error resulting in the incorrect medication being dispensed to a pregnant mother. Their negligence resulted in her child developing a neural tube defect, which caused paraplegia and other severe injuries.
$13 Million for Poor Postoperative Care: A US government-employed medical provider’s negligence resulted in this settlement for a patient who received poor postoperative care, causing cerebral palsy and brain damage.
