As advocates for your legal rights, Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC has expanded the rights of the injured by working to change laws at the appellate and legislative levels.
Through our successful cases we have:
- Secured the right for medical malpractice victims to hold negligent physicians/employees of the District of Columbia accountable for negligence, even when the 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 a statute of limitations.
- Established in Maryland that if a physician fraudulently conceals the cause of death, the deadline for filing a wrongful death action can be extended.
- Helped defeat state and national legislation that would curtail the legal rights of victims of medical and pharmaceutical malpractice.
