What Should Medical Malpractice Victims Look for in a Seattle, WA, Medical Malpractice Attorney?

JJS offers decades of malpractice legal experience in delivering historic justice for people who have been harmed in catastrophic medical injury cases. Whether the malpractice is a result of negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct, these cases are not easy on the plaintiffs, and they are rarely resolved quickly. Major malpractice cases for complex and catastrophic injury can take years. Inexperienced and underfunded malpractice firms often encourage settlements that are unfairly low early on because their team is not financially equipped to take these cases to trial on a contingency basis.

For over 40 years, JJS has used its legal and medical knowledge to advocate for injured clients. As is needed in these tough cases, JJS enlists leading industry experts to review and examine clients’ injuries and build strong cases on their behalf.

Investigating the evidence. JJS’s malpractice team includes a team of professional investigators and medical experts who have knowledge, experience, and resources needed to build a strong case that demonstrates the full extent of the injuries. If new, objective medical assessments and lab work are needed to strengthen the case and show the full extent of injury, then JJS has the resources to ensure those who have been harmed have access to what they need.
Calculating the damages. Experienced medical malpractice attorneys like those at JJS have a deep understanding of the full implications of the medical and financial needs of those who have been injured by catastrophic medical error. Not only do they rely on their team of medical experts and investigators, they have a keen understanding of the complexities of medical malpractice and are able to use that knowledge in their advocacy for the victims.

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

JJS helps victims of serious injuries resulting from medical malpractice in Seattle, WA, by persisting in the pursuit of damages for serious injuries, which are often extensive and difficult for an inexperienced legal team to calculate accurately and fully.

Medical expenses. The extensive medical bills that are the consequence of medical errors are often far beyond the scope of what injured victims and their families can reasonably handle. Most serious malpractice injuries will result in a lifetime of medical care needs, including adaptive equipment, ongoing treatments, and caregiver assistance. Those who have been injured by malpractice will find themselves with an overwhelming financial burden.
Lost wages and earning capacity. Many victims of catastrophic malpractice cases, such as delayed C-section birth injuries, will never be able to earn a living. Even if the injured person is an adult at the time of injury, they may not be able to return to work, or if they are it often is in a limited capacity, especially in cases of brain injury.
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 their non-economic losses. This includes their pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress, among other damages.
