Optional Information



Already Tried:
I am trying to get justice for a contract physician of VA Medical Centers actions. The defendant attorney is arguing that the US is not liable for the actions of contract doctors.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for contacting our JA team for guidance.

 

Usually you cannot amend after the judge's recommendations have been entered. You would need to file a motion to amend and obtain the court's permission to amend, attaching the proposed amended complaint to the motion.

 

Moot means that the motion for summary judgment was denied because it was irrelevant. The case had been dismissed on other grounds it appears.

 

Please let me know whether you require further assistance.

 

Best regards,

Answer

No. Very sorry. I do not. Lawyers.com provides a large database of attorneys by area of practice and location.

 

If you are looking for a less expensive route, you might want to look for a legal aid clinic in your area or search the website of your state bar association for attorneys in your area you may take pro bono or reduced fee cases.

 

The best of luck to you.
