Personal Injury Law

Personal injury trial will focus on Botox safety in cerebral palsy children

Botox ? best known as a face-lift in a syringe ? also helps to relax contorted muscles and can sometimes help young patients walk without surgery. Unfortunately, Botox did not work appropriately for a 6 year old girl who received Botox injections to calm spasms in her legs.
