Re: Has anyone won a Brachial Plexus Injury case?

Of course Drs stick together...but if he/she did something wrong, there is always someone outside of the area that can and will testify against another dr. We won our case, but it was a LONG process...

Re: Expert Witnesses

<t>This is an important step in your case. We had some great expert witnesses. Ours came from New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. You usually cannot get experts from around your doctors area to testify against a doctor...we won our case due a lot to our witnesses. They are usually expensive also...

Re: Weight Bearing

<t>Yes, we have tried twister...she is very clever though with using those derned stomach muscles. I think I will have to try the wheel barrow walk up the steps or on the floor.
