AGGRESSIVE ADVOCACY

As seasoned medical malpractice litigators, the Medlaw Legal Team of Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC has expanded the rights of the injured by changing laws at the appellate and legislative levels. For example, we have:

• Secured for medical malpractice victims the right to hold negligent physician/employees of the District of Columbia accountable even when their employer is immune from being sued
• Established in Maryland that brain damaged children may receive compensation for future life care expenses, even when their parents' claim for those expenses is barred by the statute of limitations
• Established in Maryland that physician fraud in concealing the cause of death will extend the deadline for filing a wrongful death action
• Helped defeat state and national legislation that would curtail the legal rights of victims of medical and pharmaceutical malpractice
