Military Hospital and VA Hospital Malpractice

Many members of the military are under the false impression that they have no recourse if they have been harmed by a doctor’s mistake or another type of medical malpractice in a military hospital. They mistakenly believe that government immunity shields the doctors and hospitals from responsibility for professional negligence that causes injury or death to patient.

This is absolutely not true. Medical professionals employed by the government are as responsible as any other health care provider for adhering to professional standards of care.

If you or a family member who is a military dependent was harmed because of a doctor’s mistake or a nurse’s negligence in a military hospital in Texas, Arkansas or elsewhere, you should seek legal advice. You may be able to bring a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Regardless of the details of your case, it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible when you realize or suspect that something went wrong because of a medical mistake in a military or veterans’ hospital such as the following:
