Dealing with military and VA medical malpractice in Delaware presents unique legal challenges. The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows individuals to sue the U.S. government for negligence, but understanding the nuances of how state laws interact with federal regulations is crucial. Delaware does not impose a specific damage cap for FTCA cases, although state law may influence certain aspects of the claim. It's essential to file FTCA claims within two years from when the injury is discovered to protect your right to compensation.
