5 Stars is nowhere near enough to rate how awesome Matt and his colleagues were. They took my case even when I didn’t think there was anything we could do. I was in a bad situation at the time and Matt, Robert, and Sarah were there for me every step of the way.

Wetherington Law Firm stands by families mourning the loss of young athletes, offering legal assistance and advocating for safer sports practices.
August 2024 has been devastating for middle and high school football players, with seven young athletes losing their lives during or shortly after practices and games. These tragic incidents have raised urgent concerns about youth sports safety across the U.S. At Wetherington Law Firm, we are committed to providing legal support to affected families, ensuring that justice is served, and pushing for improved safety measures in youth sports.
Cohen Craddock and Others: A Tragic Loss That Could Have Been Prevented
One of the most heartbreaking losses is that of 13-year-old Cohen Craddock, who tragically passed away after suffering a head injury during football practice. Despite wearing a helmet, Cohen sustained severe brain injuries. His father, Ryan Craddock, is now advocating for enhanced safety measures to protect other young athletes from similar fates.
You wish it was a bad dream you could wake up from… I want to take the loss of my boy and try to protect the other guys.
Ryan Craddock
