When navigating the complexities of military and VA medical malpractice in Iowa, understanding the nuances of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is crucial. Iowa's state-specific damage cap does not apply to FTCA claims, offering a broader scope for pursuing justice. The statute of limitations demands that claims be filed within two years from the date the injury and its cause are discovered, underscoring the need for prompt action. To learn more about the FTCA process, including VA tort claim payouts and settlements, visit our resources on VA tort claim payouts and FTCA Form 95.
