PROVIDING TRUSTED LEGAL SERVICES FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE VICTIMS


How Can a Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire Lawyer Help?

  • Evaluating the Claim: We will assess the details of the claim, including your medical records, test results, and the circumstances surrounding the malpractice. We can determine if you have a valid claim for medical malpractice.
  • Gathering Evidence: Our team will collect supporting evidence, including complete medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions. This may require additional tests or evaluations to confirm the misdiagnosis.
  • Notifying the Appropriate Agency: Administrative claims must be filed with the appropriate agency. This may involve contacting the military healthcare facility where the malpractice occurred, such as a military hospital or clinic.
  • Filing the Administrative Claim: The administrative claim must be submitted within a specified time frame. The claim should detail the circumstances of the malpractice, the injuries sustained, and the damages suffered.
  • Representation in Court: The legal process for military medical malpractice claims can be complex and may involve legal arguments, expert testimony, and other litigation-related activities. An attorney will present evidence to prove the military healthcare provider's negligence.


Without the guidance of an attorney, it can be easy to get lost among the bureaucratic requirements involved in a military claim. 

However, an experienced attorney from our firm can lead the way and ensure no forms, documents, or deadlines are missed. We will ensure you are well supported and heard as your claim progresses.

Don’t hesitate to fill out our form and reach out to us — the ability to receive compensation may depend on it.
