If you have suffered injuries due to medical malpractice at a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital or clinic, a skilled VA malpractice lawyer can help. Because these types of claims are filed against the federal government, they follow very different procedures than malpractice cases against civilian doctors. Our firm is experienced in both filing these claims and litigating them through trial, if necessary.
As with any medical malpractice claim, it is necessary to establish that the VA doctor breached his or her duty of care and that this breach caused you injury. This can be done through a combination of expert testimony and a detailed examination of your case, including the specific injuries you have sustained and how they are affecting your life.
Veteran Hospital Negligence Attorney Fighting for Your Rights
A veteran hospital negligence attorney fighting for your rights can sue the government under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). In many cases, it is beneficial to first make an administrative FTCA claim with the VA by filling out Standard Form 95. Then, if the VA denies your claim or fails to respond within six months of your submission of the form, you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit in federal court.
Our experienced VA malpractice attorneys can help you determine the full amount of damages you deserve for your medical expenses, lost income, future losses, pain and suffering, and more. Our team also works with a network of proven experts in various medical specialties to prove your case.
