Veterans and military personnel seeking justice for medical malpractice in Arkansas face unique challenges due to state-specific laws and federal regulations. In Arkansas, medical malpractice claims are subject to a cap on non-economic damages, limited to $500,000. Additionally, the statute of limitations for filing a claim is generally two years from the incident or its discovery. For claims against VA hospitals, it’s crucial to adhere to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) procedures, including filing an administrative claim within the designated timeframe. Understanding these complexities is vital for those pursuing compensation.
