A Career Built on Complex, Consequential Cases
James Wood founded James Wood Law to take on some of the most complex and consequential types of injury cases.
Backed by decades of experience and dual Board Certification (Texas and nationally), he has helped families across New Mexico and Arizona fight for justice after being harmed by substandard medical care and has built a record of success that includes numerous successful jury trials and millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. Some of his most notable recoveries include:
- $23.8 Million – Jury verdict against hospital over catastrophic surgical error.
- $20 Million – Settlement for family of child born with permanent birth injury due to failure to perform C-section.
- $8.6 Million – Settlement against hospital and ER doctor over failure to diagnose spinal abscess.
- Numerous verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million
That record, and the sustained peer recognition that has accompanied it, reflects what James Wood Law has stood for since he founded the firm. We congratulate James on this well-deserved honor.
