How Long Will an Oklahoma City, OK, 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?

What Should People Look for in an Oklahoma City, OK, Birth Injury Attorney?

JJS offers victims of birth injury our decades of experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed in catastrophic medical error cases. Whether the injuries are a result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct on the part of providers, these cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly.

For over 40 years, we have advocated for injured clients, beginning with a thorough investigation of the circumstances of each case we accept. Our network of medical experts and investigators is crucial in the discovery phase. We enlist leading industry experts to review and examine clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.

Investigating the evidence. JJS’ birth injury division uses our medical knowledge and investigative resources to assess and process what the evidence shows, as well as what additional evidence is needed to demonstrate the full extent of the injury. This means medical malpractice victims have the opportunity to seek to recover damages for their injuries along with answers about what happened to them.
Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice teams like ours have a deep understanding of the full implications of the medical and financial needs of those who have been injured by medical negligence. While building a case, we use a variety of invaluable resources, such as our in-house medical experts.

However crucial experience and knowledge are, those alone are not enough to successfully resolve the toughest cases in favor of the victims. When it comes to the pursuit of fair compensation for damages, law firms need to have the resources to last the duration of the case. Because major malpractice cases can take years to resolve, inexperienced or underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on because their team is not equipped to take these cases to trial on a contingency basis.

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

JJS persists in our pursuit of justice and compensation for birth injury victims’ often debilitating injuries and the accompanying damages.

Medical expenses. Most serious birth injuries will result in a lifetime of medical care needs. These needs may include adaptive equipment, ongoing treatments, and caregiver assistance. This is in addition to bills for inpatient care, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitative care that have likely already been piling up and will continue to do so.
Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases, such as delayed C-section birth injuries, will never earn a living. Even if they are able, it is often in a limited capacity, especially in cases of brain injury. Birth injury suits can seek to recover financial compensation for an individual’s actual lost wages, and even compensate victims for future wages that will almost certainly be lost as a result of their reduced or eliminated earning capacity.
Non-economic damages. Filing a lawsuit when someone has been harmed by medical malpractice can also provide a way for injured people to recover damages for what are considered non-economic losses. This includes their pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress.
