If you suffered misdiagnosis at a Northern Mariana Islands VA or military hospital, you may be entitled to compensation under the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. § 2401(b)). The appropriate agency must receive an administrative claim within two years after it accrues, generally when the injury and its cause were known or reasonably should have been known. SF-95 or other qualifying written notice must include a sum certain (28 C.F.R. § 14.2). Missing a deadline can bar a claim; seek advice promptly about your circumstances. Our doctor-attorney team handles every step of the FTCA process at no cost unless we win.

The care settingWhere was the care provided?

The location of care and the provider’s employment status help identify which rules may apply. Care at a federal facility does not by itself establish a claim.

The sequenceWhat do the records show?

Treatment notes, tests, referrals, and follow-up records help connect the sequence of care and the questions that need review.

The legal routeWhich legal route may apply?

An FTCA lawsuit generally names the United States as the defendant. Active-duty servicemembers may have separate remedies; eligibility depends on the facts and applicable rules.
