Why Choose Archuleta Law Firm for Your FTCA or VA Tort Claim?

If you’re considering filing a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) claim, especially for medical malpractice against government healthcare providers like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), you might be wondering: Do I need a lawyer? And why should I choose the Archuleta Law Firm?

Navigating FTCA Claims Without Expert Help

Filing an FTCA claim, particularly for VA-related medical malpractice cases, is a complex process filled with potential pitfalls. Many individuals attempt to navigate this challenging terrain alone, unaware of the significant financial consequences of doing so.

Our Clients Receive Substantially Higher Tort Claim Payouts

Average settlement for individuals without legal representation: $64,890.78

How does a tort lawsuit work?

A tort lawsuit involves filing a claim that seeks to remedy a wrong caused by another party’s negligence or intentional act. If the claim is successful, the plaintiff may be awarded monetary damages to compensate for their losses. Most tort claims, including FTCA claims, seek financial relief rather than criminal punishment.

Negligence is the most common type of tort claim. This occurs when a person or entity fails to act with reasonable care, leading to someone else’s injury. In cases involving medical malpractice, negligence plays a key role in determining fault.

How do you prove a tort claim?

To prove a tort claim, four elements must be established:

1.Duty: The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff.

2.Breach: The defendant breached that duty.

3.Causation: The breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injury.

4.Damages: The plaintiff suffered losses or harm due to the breach.
