VA Medical Malpractice (FTCA)

You served our country, now let us help you hold the VA medical system accountable for negligent medical care.
The Federal Torts Claims Act (FTCA) allows a private citizen to sue the United States for medical malpractice committed against a veteran or federal employee. In fact, veterans and military dependents may not even know that they can sue the federal government if they have been the victim of medical malpractice. Despite scores of misconceptions, military doctors, military hospitals, and VA hospitals are not protected from professional negligence that causes injury or death to a patient.
If you or your family has experienced medical malpractice at the hands of a VA hospital or military hospital, you are in need of expert legal guidance. Suing the VA or a military hospital under the FTCA is very different from an ordinary personal injury case. The FTCA mandates that certain specialized rules and requirements must be met before an injured victim can file a claim against the United States Government. For example, an injured person must file an administrative claim with the proper agency of the federal government within a limited amount of time after the injury. Call Shewmaker and Shewmaker today, and we can help you obtain the justice you deserve.
