Veterans and military families trust Maryland's VA medical centers and military hospitals to provide accurate diagnoses and timely treatment. Unfortunately, diagnostic errors at these facilities can have devastating consequences. These errors can lead to delayed treatment, worsened conditions, and sometimes preventable deaths. These misdiagnoses can affect critical conditions ranging from cancer and heart disease to neurological disorders and infections, where early detection and treatment are essential for optimal outcomes.
As both a licensed attorney and medical doctor, our founding attorney brings unique expertise to misdiagnosis cases that other law firms simply cannot match. Our dual medical-legal perspective helps us identify overlooked medical negligence and build stronger cases. We understand the complex medical decision-making processes involved in diagnosis and can effectively communicate these concepts to judges and juries. Under the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. § 2675), you have the right to seek compensation when government healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, but the process requires specialized knowledge of both federal law and medical standards.
If you or a loved one suffered harm due to a misdiagnosis at a Maryland VA or military facility, understanding your legal rights is crucial to securing the compensation you deserve. The federal claims process has unique requirements and strict deadlines that differ significantly from state medical malpractice cases.
