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 evidence is needed?
Key evidence includes medical records, expert testimonies, and records of your injury and subsequent treatment. Documentation that highlights the deviation from standard care is crucial.
Can I settle out of court?
Yes, many medical malpractice cases are settled out of court. Settlement can save time and resources, but it's important to ensure the compensation offered is fair and just.
Can I sue for misdiagnosis?
