When confronted with military and VA medical malpractice in Arizona, it's crucial to navigate the complexities of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Arizona law imposes a cap of $250,000 on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, including those involving VA and military facilities. This cap can impact FTCA claims significantly. Furthermore, the statute of limitations under the FTCA mandates that a claim must be filed within two years of the malpractice becoming known. Start your journey by understanding your rights and the legal framework. For more detailed information, visit our page on VA medical malpractice and FTCA claims. Additionally, consider learning about the process of filing a Standard Form 95 (SF95) to ensure your case is properly documented and submitted within the allowed time frame.

Veterans have served this country honorably and one of their benefits is VA medical care. When that VA medical care falls to the level of malpractice, I have a passion to help the injured veteran and their family.
When someone is injured or killed by malpractice at a VA facility, it doesn’t affect just them. It affects their entire family. Our law firm represents families in claims against the Department of Veterans Affairs when Department of Veterans Affairs was negligent and caused injury or death to their loved one.

Veterans in Arizona can pursue legal action for VA Medical Malpractice through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which allows them to file claims against the federal government for negligence or wrongful acts of VA medical professionals. It’s crucial to consult an experienced attorney familiar with both federal and Arizona state laws to understand how these might apply to your case. For more insights, visit our section on VA medical malpractice settlements to learn more about the process and potential outcomes.
While the FTCA itself does not impose federal damage caps, Arizona law may impose caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases that could influence a claim. It’s important to consult an attorney who can provide guidance on how state damage caps may affect your case. The Archuleta Law Firm has experience in handling FTCA claims and can help you navigate these complexities.
Under the Federal Tort Claims Act, you generally have two years from the date you knew or should have known about the malpractice to file a claim. This timeline is crucial, and filing within it is imperative to retain your right to seek compensation. For additional guidance on this process, you can review our resources on SF95, Standard Form 95.
