James Wood Law - Albuquerque, NM

With the ultimate goal of helping those who have suffered under the negligence or malpractice of health care professionals, James Wood Law stands by our clients from the start of their legal journey till the very end. Situated in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Phoenix, Arizona, we focus exclusively on medical malpractice, encompassing matters of anesthesia errors, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, birth injuries and wrongful death.

Apart from the physical and emotional injury that is incurred, financial issues of unpaid medical bills and lost wages are also a significant part of the damage caused. Understanding the pain and grief that you are going through, we extend our compassionate service to anyone who seeks our legal help. We take on your legal burden and fight for you against insurance companies and authorities that try to deny or lowball your claims, or refuse to take responsibility for their faults.

Our founder, James Wood, brings experience worth over six decades to the firm and has a board certification in civil trial law from the National Board of Trial Advocacy and in personal injury trial law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Having tried more than 30 cases before a jury and settling more than 100 outside the courtroom, he has earned a spot in the list of The National Trial Lawyers’ Top 100 Trial Lawyers in New Mexico and a peer-review rating of AV Preeminent* through Martindale-Hubbell as well as Super Lawyers.

In our battles for justice over the years securing compensation for the injured, we have obtained a $23.8 million jury verdict against a hospital and surgeon for a client who was permanently disabled due to failure to treat bowel obstruction and catastrophic surgical error.

At James Wood Law, we offer our clients free initial consultations to allow them the time to get their cases evaluated by our professionals so that they are empowered to choose the course of action. Know that, with us, you are not alone in your battle for justice and rightful compensation to cover the loss you have suffered due to the fault of a third party.
