Veterans and servicemembers in Minnesota facing medical malpractice at VA or military facilities have legal pathways for recourse under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). While Minnesota law caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages are fully recoverable. In accordance with the FTCA, claims must be filed within two years of the incident. Our team specializes in navigating these complex claims to ensure maximum potential compensation for those affected.

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims generally allows you to file a claim within four years from the date of the injury. However, for claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) related to military medical malpractice, the federal statute requires that an administrative claim be filed within two years of the incident. It is crucial to consult with an attorney familiar with both state and federal laws to navigate the nuances of your case effectively. For more details, you may visit Veterans Medical Malpractice FTCA.
Minnesota law does not impose a cap on economic damages such as medical expenses or lost wages in medical malpractice cases. However, there is a cap on non-economic damages of $1.2 million. While the FTCA itself does not impose damage caps, Minnesota’s state laws on non-economic damages might influence a claim. We recommend discussing your situation with a specialized attorney to understand the full implications for your particular case. Explore more on this topic at FTCA and VA Tort Claim Payouts.
In Minnesota, veterans, their family members, and active-duty servicemembers who have been harmed due to medical malpractice at a military or VA facility may file a claim under the FTCA. Understanding the eligibility criteria and procedural requirements is essential for a successful claim. You can learn more by visiting our comprehensive guide on VA Medical Malpractice Settlements.
The process begins by filing an administrative claim with the appropriate federal agency using the Standard Form 95 (SF95). It’s important to ensure all necessary information is accurately provided to avoid delays or denials. For detailed guidance on filing a claim, visit Federal Tort Claims Act Standard Form 95.
If your military medical malpractice claim is denied in Minnesota, you have the option to file a lawsuit in federal court. It is advisable to seek legal counsel promptly to navigate the complexities of appealing a denied claim under the FTCA.
