How We Help: Litigation Against the VA
Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals and clinics are supposed to help military veterans in need of care, but veterans can receive misdiagnoses (or failures to diagnose), inadequate treatment, inordinate delays, and malpractice at the hands of negligent VA medical personnel.
Veterans (and their families) are entitled to pursue medical malpractice claims against the VA under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which governs much of the process. However, the VA often denies and/or disputes claims for rightful compensation. This is where experienced legal help can help: you want to be sure the numerous administrative requirements required are followed to the letter, that the government understands that you have legal representatives who know how to navigate the FTCA and claims process, and pursue litigation through trial, if necessary.
Damages for which injured victims can seek compensation include:
- Harms and losses, including pain and suffering and disability
- Future impairment affecting the ability to work and loss of enjoyment of life
- Funeral expenses in the event of wrongful death
- Medical, hospital, and rehabilitation bills

Experience
Experience
- We successfully settled a matter against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on behalf of a veteran who suffered an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotics and died. The VA providers did not establish an airway, administer appropriate medications, supply adequate oxygen, nor timely respond to our client.
-
We successfully settled, for the full amount of our demand, a matter on behalf of a patient whose gynecological cancer was not properly diagnosed and thereafter metastasized. Our allegations included that the doctor at the veterans’ facility failed to perform a thorough exam, biopsy, follow care, or even referral to a gynecologic oncologist which caused a five-month delay in diagnosis and therapy.
- We represent clients in a nationwide MDL (multi-district litigation) arising from hearing loss from defective combat earplugs.
