If you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice at a VA or military facility in Ohio, understanding your rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is crucial. Ohio's state laws, such as the non-economic damage cap of $250,000 to $350,000, offer context to these federal claims. However, FTCA governs the process for filing claims against federal entities, requiring a two-year statute of limitations from the date of injury.
