When navigating the complexities of military and VA medical malpractice claims in Colorado, understanding the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is crucial. This federal statute allows individuals to pursue claims against the United States government for harm caused by federal employees, including those in VA and military hospitals. Colorado's own laws on medical malpractice, such as damage caps on non-economic damages, can influence the evaluation of these claims, even though they do not directly apply to FTCA cases. It is vital to act swiftly due to the two-year statute of limitations.

Our site provides insights and answers to crucial questions regarding your rights and options under the FTCA framework.

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.
