What Should People Who Have Been Injured Look for in a Minneapolis, MN, Birth Injury Attorney?

JJS has decades of experience in successfully advocating for the rights of babies and mothers who have been harmed by medical malpractice, and we have achieved historic justice for victims across the country. Whether birth injuries are the result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct on the part of healthcare providers, these cases are rarely easy on those who have been injured or their families. JJS’s birth injury team is driven by over 40 years of medical and legal experience. We know birth injuries can impact babies and mothers in many different ways, and in some cases are the result of a tangled timeline of negligent actions on the part of one or even many parties.

We investigate the evidence. The discovery phase of a birth injury case starts with our simple, but often ignored by others, commitment to those who have been harmed: the pursuit of the truth. JJS works collaboratively with our network of trusted allies to uncover what events and shortcomings caused the injuries. In previous malpractice cases, our thorough investigative process has even led to the discovery of evidence that other firms initially missed.
We calculate all the damages. The damages inflicted upon victims of medical malpractice will, of course, include their medical bills, but calculable harm goes far beyond the monetary costs of a lifetime of medical care. Victims harmed by medical malpractice need a law firm that has the resources to uncover proof of the significant expenses and substantial impacts of severe birth injury. They also need a firm that is not afraid to go all the way in including compensation for pain and suffering and a diminished quality of life.

Furthermore, the investigation into a birth injury case, however crucial, is only one part of the important work medical malpractice lawyers do for those who have been harmed. Far too often, inexperienced and underfunded medical malpractice firms encourage settlements that are unfairly low early in the process. This happens when a firm is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial, especially on a contingency basis, and those lawyers want to move on to their next case quickly.

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

JJS leverages our legal and medical knowledge and experience to advocate for injured clients across Minneapolis and the nation. Our pursuit of damages for these severe medical injuries requires teams who have a deep understanding of the extent of the impact these injuries can have on victims’ lives right from the start.

Medical expenses. Medical costs associated with birth injury often quickly add up to far more than what families can reasonably afford, even with insurance. Between the costs of inpatient treatment, surgeries, emergency room visits, medication and medical devices, rehabilitative care, and much, much more, the consequences of serious birth injuries resulting from medical malpractice generally mean a lifelong financial burden that never should have fallen on clients 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. JJS can seek to recover compensation for an injured mother’s lost wages or even compensate infant victims for their future wages lost as a result of the injured child’s reduced or, quite often, eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. The consequences of birth injury run deep, often extending far beyond what can be seen on a CT scan or X-ray or added up in hospital receipts. Experienced firms like JJS account for non-economic losses in medical malpractice cases, such as victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s legal team knows how to fully calculate the immense value of these losses that are felt by victims, and we have the trial experience to prove it to a jury.
