$900,000 Ftca Award Failure To Treat
cathi1 replied to Berta's question in FTCA Federal Tort Claims Action
My husband went to a VA surgeon in 2/2014 for pain in his left shoulder. He scheduled an MRI for June 2014. By that time he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had grown out of the lung into his shoulder. He died 7 months later. I was offered 40,000.00 under a Tort claim act but I am trying to get his pension as well, that paperwork is still pending. Does anyone know if I accept the payout will it affect the monthly check from his pension? He was receiving the pension because of Parkinsons disease was a presumptive illness from agent orange.
