Seaman Danyelle Luckey Military Medical Accountability Amendment Act of 2024
This bill amends a law to allow service members to file medical malpractice claims against the military for injuries or deaths occurring on specific naval vessels (aircraft carriers, landing helicopter assault ships, and landing helicopter dock ships) when not in combat. It creates a 90-day window after the bill's enactment for claims that accrued between October 1, 2016, and the bill's passage to be treated as timely filed. The change directly affects service members who experienced medical errors on those vessel types during the specified period. It modifies existing procedures to permit these claims to be processed under the same rules as other military medical malpractice cases.
