Question

Yes, Allan

Berta recommanded me this guy.

I was hunting a Attorney willing to be paid contingency basis in the civil but I am beginning to wonder if I should go with all the gov't stuff first because somebody told me this yesterday:

"You can file Your own 42 USC 1983 action for wrongful death, medical malpractice any whatever You know. You could file a fraud complaint with the GOA-General Accounting Office, try Your local senator-A gov't piece of shit & or go to the city/county district attorney or the US Attorney & ask for murder charges be filed, criminal negligence resulting in death, manslaughter.

You'd want to do this part 1st & whatever material discovered is used in Your civil rights suit"

What do you think?

I am adding this - this is not posted to ALLVETS:

By the way, I just avoided the street by the skin of the teeth not of my fault and as you know I'll get 610 $ per month. With all the crap I lived because Immigration was not supposed to separate us at the borders because I was married to Ashley - so we lost 19 precious months - and as soon as I entered in the U.S. I was separated definitively from him because he died 5 1/2 months after and all the crap I lived in the damn VA Hospital so I am totally exhausted, always out of breath. (so I can not go to work) I just avoided the street by very few but it is just postponed because of the 610 per month but maybe there is something I can do....

I heard there is Federal foundings other than food stamps and Social Security Assistance even a Legal Immigrant like me would be eligible. Do you know about that? SURELY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. If that would exist that would not only help me, that would help thousands of widows because 610 $ when you don't have a family to count on is just good to send you on the street.

Dear Berta,

I know Dr. Bash is Dr. Bash:-) Thanks for inviting me to read in more details about Mrs. Friery in case she would handle the private and it sounds she does.

Dear Pete53:

I am aware I talked about things not related (I feel sometimes my heart would blow up) - especially our re-unification was on June 16th, his birthday on June 19th - so I decided to remove the links not related to the Vets concerns - very few cases if none have concerns with Immigration. You expressed youself well it is just I did not want you to be concerned with external links because I am aware I was able to pour a bit my heart here because it helps you to understand the kind of challenge I am in and I appreciated nobody jumped on me about that.

I did not remove the links that could be directly helpful to the Vets, except this Immigration 130 pdf document.

By the way, one of my friends gave me this link:

http://www.legalmatch.com/main.html

You can literally post your case there and have Attorneys to "hunt" you also instead of just "hunting" them.

And it's a good site:

So a thank you to all the moderators for taking their time to help us out.

And I thank God I am not losing my mind because in my mess, I am really and definitively supposed to. All I am doing since a while is to fight.

Marie

p.s. I am good Citizen, respectful of others.

I just received this from an VA Attorney:

I have also not performed

an analysis as to when the statute of limitations will expire on your

case, under the Federal Tort Claims Act, but strongly recommend that

you immediately consult with counsel in an effort to avoid having the

expiration of the statute of limitations raised as a bar to your

claim.

It's not 2 years?!?!? B)

I thought it was because I also did my own research plus what you said to me.

By the way since I am posting this, I guess it is preferable to present the case as medical malpractice because you can always raise the level after

but if you'd begin with wrongful death instead, then if you'd lose you'd lose everything. Am I correct?

Thank you,

Marie

p.s. I am still on bike. Just to make the things "easier". B)

The Statute of Limits is 2 years after one becomes aware of the malpractice.

I feel that something on your SF 95 must have indicated to the VA the malpractice dates were in some conflict.

You had many issues in this claim and some involve a private hospital.

The VA lawyer is correct- and I suggested that you get your own lawyer some time ago.

Medical malpractice and wrongful death-they are basically the same thing if the vet dies due to VA negligence.

There was more to the VA counsel's letter then this- since he/she said "also not performed".

It is most likely a question regarding the Jurisdiction aspect.

These are the 2 initial considerations that the VA counsel has to make:

1. does the FTCA tort claim fall within VA jurisdiction?

2. Is the claim within the Statute of Limits?

There were numerous issues in your husband's death.

The VA is right- they want you to seek counsel.They saw something in the dates that triggered this letter to you.

I have no idea what they saw-this is beyond my experience with VA counsel.I never received anything like this when I filed FTCA.

I would heed what they are asking you to do.ASAP.

By the way- four separate malpractice firms just popped up at hadit on the top ad thing-

Sean Cronin also just came up there- there are many malpractice lawyers who advertise on the internet these days-

I contacted one firm for you and you said you would follow it up-many weeks ago-

also what did Ms. Frery say as to your claim?

If I could have found a malpractice lawyer over a decade ago (prior to the internet) I would never have handled my FTCA claim myself.

These days they are all over the net.

Well, I communicate with all these "wonderful" attorneys and nobody wants to help. So I am announcing that I'll try by myself (with no IMO because no attorney) and see where this will go.....because the biggest mistake would be to wait too long so I could not do anything at all. My husband died 1 year and 2 months ago.

It's worth a try and if I won't succeed, at least I would have try.

Thank you so very much for the support here.

Marie

Hadit has helped a lot of Veterans when no other help was available. If you use the resources here you can win almost any claim that has merit.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
