Medical Malpractice is a highly complex field of law. To be successful in representing victims of malpractice a lawyer must possess not only sound legal knowledge, judgment and experience, but also familiarity with the health care profession and medical science.

The MEDLAW Legal Team successfully represents families injured by medical malpractice. Our law firm concentrates on the litigation of birth injuries nationwide. With doctor/lawyers on staff, an OBGYN, a Labor & Delivery Nurse, and other experienced medical professionals representing your rights, the MEDLAW Legal Team offers families and children the resources and experience necessary to successfully litigate malpractice claims.

By retaining experienced malpractice lawyers who are also nurses, with a physician and nurse paralegals on staff, you are able to tap into their reservoir of medical training and knowledge to accurately and quickly analyze your potential medical malpractice claim. In fact, the MEDLAW Legal Team of Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC has uncovered viable malpractice claims that other attorneys have missed reviewing the very same medical records from all over the country.

The importance of having physician or nurse/attorneys on your side does not end once the determination is made that you have a sound medical negligence claim. The negligent health care providers will hire their own medical “experts” to defend their actions. Defense experts have been known to try to confound inexperienced and untrained counsel (and the jury) with medical terms and with erroneous statements regarding what is acceptable medical practice and sound medical science. That is when you want lawyers who are trained doctors or nurses and a board certified ob-gyn and nurse paralegal in house fighting for you— advocates who understand medical terminology and can ask the incisive questions which will demonstrate to the jury that the defense “experts” are wrong.

A statute of limitations applies to medical malpractice claims, placing time limits on the amount of time families have to pursue a malpractice case. Failure to file within the applicable statute of limitations forever bars your claim. These time limits vary from state to state.
