In New Hampshire, veterans and military families dealing with medical malpractice face unique challenges and opportunities. The absence of a statutory damage cap in New Hampshire provides a significant advantage for claimants in malpractice cases. However, navigating the complexities of both state and federal regulations, such as the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), is essential. The FTCA allows veterans and their families to seek compensation for injuries sustained due to negligence at VA and military medical facilities. With a three-year statute of limitations under New Hampshire law and a two-year period under the FTCA, timely action is critical. For comprehensive guidance and support, consult with experienced legal professionals well-versed in these specific legal terrains.
