When navigating the complex landscape of military and VA medical malpractice in Wyoming, understanding the nuances of state and federal laws is crucial. While the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (WGCA) imposes damage caps on local healthcare providers, claims filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) are not subject to these limitations, offering a unique pathway for justice. The statute of limitations in Wyoming requires most malpractice claims to be filed within two years, a critical timeline that also applies to claims against the VA. For those pursuing justice, it's essential to explore your options such as filing an FTCA claim, using resources like the VA medical malpractice settlement guidance, and consulting expert legal support. To learn more about these processes, visit Federal Tort Claims Act Form 95 resources for filing claims efficiently and effectively.

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.

In Wyoming, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims generally requires that the claim be filed within two years of the date of the injury or the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. However, specific rules may apply to cases involving federal entities like the VA under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Consulting an attorney who is familiar with both federal and state laws is crucial to understanding how these time limits might impact your claim. For more detailed information, you can explore our VA medical malpractice page.
While the FTCA itself does not impose damage caps, Wyoming law does impose certain caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases that could influence a claim. It’s important to consult an attorney familiar with both state and federal law to fully understand how state laws may apply and impact your case. The Archuleta Law Firm excels in navigating these complexities to maximize your potential payout. For more information, see our section on VA tort claim payouts.
Yes, in Wyoming, you may file a malpractice claim if your injury occurred at a VA hospital, but you must do so under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

For more guidance on how the FTCA applies, please visit our FTCA guide.
Filing a VA medical malpractice claim in Wyoming involves several steps, beginning with filing an administrative claim with the relevant federal agency.
