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.

In some cases, medical malpractice during pregnancy or delivery may contribute to cerebral palsy. This can include failure to treat maternal infections, delays in C-section delivery, or improper use of delivery instruments.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit for filing a medical malpractice claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. It's crucial to act promptly and consult a legal professional to ensure you're within the allowable timeframe.
What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, often caused by damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth. It is a lifelong condition with no cure, but treatment can improve quality of life.
How is cerebral palsy diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history evaluation, physical exams, and developmental assessments. Doctors may use imaging tests like MRIs or CT scans to identify brain abnormalities that could indicate cerebral palsy.
