What Should People Who Have Been Injured Look for in a Harrisburg, PA Medical Malpractice Attorney?

JJS has been delivering historic justice on behalf of catastrophically injured victims of medical malpractice for decades. Whether malpractice results from negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct on the part of healthcare providers, these kinds of cases are never easy on those who have been injured. For over 40 years, JJS has leveraged its legal and medical knowledge and experience to advocate for injured clients across Pennsylvania and the United States. Victims need to be confident that they will receive both personal attention and long-term support from a firm like JJS, starting with an extensive examination of the circumstances of the case.

  • Investigating the evidence. JJS’s medical malpractice cases start with a simple but often ignored step—the pursuit of the full truth. We work collaboratively with our network of expert witnesses and investigators to uncover what really happened to those who have been injured. JJS uses our team’s medical knowledge and extensive investigative resources to determine the severity, extent, and cause of injuries. In previous malpractice cases, our thorough investigative process has even led to the discovery of evidence that other firms missed.
  • Calculating the damages. The damages inflicted upon victims of medical malpractice will, of course, include medical costs. But the harm done goes far beyond the costs of medical treatment. JJS has the resources, knowledge, and experience to accurately project the full scope of future expenses and impacts of victims’ injuries.

However, the investigation into the case is only one element of the part medical malpractice lawyers play in a catastrophic injury lawsuit. Medical malpractice law firms also must have substantial financial resources themselves in order to withstand the recovery process, no matter how long it takes. The reality is that major malpractice suits can take years to resolve, and inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often 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 quickly.

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

JJS understands that the damages experienced by those who have been harmed by medical malpractice extend beyond what may be apparent to more inexperienced legal teams. The pursuit of damages for serious medical injuries requires a deep understanding of the impact these injuries can have on victims’ lives.

  • Medical expenses. The most apparent, and often immediate, financial impact felt by victims of medical malpractice is the ever-growing cost of medical bills. These medical expenses often add up to far more than what injured victims and their families can reasonably afford, even with insurance. Because the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication and medical devices, rehabilitative care, and more can be so devastating, medical malpractice injuries can incur a lifelong financial burden that no victim should be forced to bear.
  • Lost wages and earning capacity. In addition to the cost of care needed simply to address physical injuries, catastrophic medical malpractice cases can affect one’s ability to earn a living. JJS can seek to recover compensation for an individual’s lost wages, or even e future wages that will be lost as a result of the injured person’s reduced or eliminated earning capacity. A catastrophic injury is life-altering and, even with community support, a person who loses the ability to provide for themselves financially will need a secure avenue for accessing care in the future.
  • Non-economic damages. The injuries of medical malpractice run deep and extend far beyond what can be seen on a CT scan, on an X-ray or added up in hospital bills. Experienced firms also will be sure to account for non-economic losses in their malpractice cases. These damages include victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, emotional distress, and more. JJS’s legal team has the experience to accurately calculate the immense value of these losses.
