I highly recommend James Wood Law
Our lives will never be the same!!! My husband had a brain injury back in 2016. Before the injury, he was a healthy, ambitious person & our sole provider. He owned & ran a restaurant and catering business. In October 2016, he had a surgery that he & I will forever regret him having! He is now 100% disabled, bedridden, & wheelchair-bound. We lost everything... the business, our travel trailer and truck was repossessed, but more importantly, I lost my healthy husband! I am now his caregiver and will be for the rest of our lives. My husband & I reached out to several attorneys to no avail. I personally had given up. A few months before the statute of limitations was about to run out, my husband called the law office of James Wood Law. I'll never forget my husband handing me the phone & telling me to talk again with another lawyer about what happened to him. I was irritated and didn't want to have to relive the story again. It was always emotionally exhausting for me, but I got up & dusted myself off and relived the part in our lives I wished never happened. I can't recall exactly who I spoke to, but she was very attentive & said she would give the attorney all my information and someone may call me back. I got a call back from Arslan Umarov. I am overwhelmed with joy from what Arslan, Jim & all the attorneys at James Wood Law has done for my family!!! There really are no words!!! I believe God sent them into our lives to give us justice for what happened to my husband!!! We didn't have to go to trial. I can't thank them enough!!!! I highly recommend the Law offices of James Wood Law & Arslan Umarov!!! Thank you & may God bless you all.

What compensation is available for delayed diagnosis?
Compensation in a delayed diagnosis case may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the harm caused by the delay. The specifics depend on the individual case and jurisdiction.
What is the statute of limitations for filing?
The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit varies by jurisdiction. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific time limits applicable to your case, as missing this deadline can prevent you from seeking compensation.
What is a delayed diagnosis?
A delayed diagnosis occurs when a healthcare provider does not diagnose a medical condition within a timely manner, potentially resulting in harm to the patient. This delay can happen due to various reasons, such as missed symptoms, incorrect test interpretations, or not ordering necessary tests.
How do I prove negligence in delayed diagnosis?
To prove negligence, you need to show that a competent healthcare provider in similar circumstances would have diagnosed your condition in a timely manner. Expert testimony is often crucial in establishing the standard of care that was breached.
