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

JJS has become known for its decades of successfully fighting for the rights of babies and mothers who have been harmed, delivering historic justice for patients across the country. Whether birth injury results from negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct on the part of healthcare providers, these kinds of cases are rarely easy on those who have been injured or their families, and rarely resolved quickly.

Victims impacted by devastating birth injury need to know they will receive both personal attention and long-term support from their legal team. JJS is driven by over 40 years of medical and legal knowledge and experience, and we leverage this to advocate for injured clients across Illinois and the United States.

We investigate the evidence. JJS’s discovery phase of a birth injury case starts with a simple but often ignored commitment—the pursuit of the full truth. We work with our network of trusted allies to uncover what really happened to cause the injury. In previous malpractice cases, our thorough investigative process has even led to the discovery of evidence that other firms initially missed.
We calculate the damages. The damages inflicted upon victims of medical malpractice will, of course, include medical costs, but the harm done goes far beyond the actual costs of a lifetime of medical treatment. The long-reaching effects of preventable medical error and negligence can only be accurately determined by a law firm that has the resources to establish proof of the significant expenses and impacts of severe birth injury, including pain, suffering and a diminished quality of life.

The investigation into a birth injury case is only one crucial part of the important work medical malpractice lawyers do for those who have been harmed. 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.

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

JJS understands that the damages experienced by those who have been harmed in birth injury cases extend beyond what may be apparent to less experienced firms. Indeed, 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 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, 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 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. 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 the injured child’s reduced or, quite often, eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. The consequences of birth injury run deep and extend far beyond what can be seen on a CT scan, X-ray, or hospital receipts. Experienced firms also can be sure to include non-economic losses in their malpractice cases, such as victims’ pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. JJS’s legal team has the knowledge to fully calculate the immense value of these losses felt by victims, and the experience to prove it to a jury.
