Representing children with cerebral palsy due to birth trauma, families who have lost a loved one, patients never told of their cancer diagnosis, we try to gather news based on our experience that is important and can be helpful to the people we represent. Issues involving patient safety, violations of patient safety rules, medical malpractice cases, HMO negligence, and hospital malpractice.
And information for those hurt at work - on workers compensation laws and the rights of injured workers when they are disabled, have a permanent injury, can't go back to work or need lifetime medical treatment.
Since everyone is different, even the most focused news and information search may not apply to a specific situation so feel free to call us at (202) 393-3320.
