Peter Anderson, Esq.
Medical malpractice trial attorney. 15+ years representing patients and families injured by doctors, hospitals, VA medical centers, and nursing homes.
Background
Peter Anderson is a medical malpractice trial attorney with more than fifteen years of experience. He handles state cases in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and FTCA matters nationwide.
His practice covers complex birth injury, FTCA claims against VA medical centers, nursing home abuse, surgical errors, and diagnostic failures. Cancer misdiagnosis and sepsis are particular focuses. He has resolved cases including a $6.5M D.C. birth injury, a $1.5M FTCA sepsis matter, and a Virginia nursing home case that created new precedent on understaffing claims.
Peter reviews every inquiry himself. He doesn't take every case. When he does, he handles it directly, rather than passing the file to an associate.
Email is the fastest way to reach Peter. He responds personally.
