Medical malpractice
trial lawyer.
Peter Anderson represents patients injured by hospitals, doctors, VA medical centers, and nursing homes. Results include a $6.5M D.C. birth injury, a $1.5M FTCA sepsis case, and a Virginia matter that created new precedent on nursing home understaffing.
Med mal isn't volume work.
These cases live in the records. They reward lawyers who actually read them, who can spot a deviation from a catheter standard buried in pages of nursing notes, or catch a fetal monitor strip that went non-reassuring before anyone called for a C-section.
Peter has spent more than fifteen years doing that work in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and the federal courts. A lot of his cases are FTCA matters against VA medical centers, which most personal injury firms won't touch because of the procedural rules. He has resolved several of them into seven figures.
Every inquiry comes to Peter, and Peter answers it himself. He doesn't take every case. The ones he does, he handles directly.
