When facing military and VA medical malpractice issues in Hawaii, navigating the complexities of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is essential. The FTCA provides a legal pathway to seek compensation for medical malpractice at military and VA facilities. Hawaii does not impose a specific damage cap on these claims under the FTCA, though there are general limits on non-economic damages for non-federal malpractice cases. It's important to note the FTCA statute of limitations, which requires filing a claim within two years from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. For guidance and a thorough evaluation of your case, it is advisable to consult experts well-versed in the nuances of VA and military medical malpractice cases.
