In Wisconsin, veterans and military families facing medical malpractice within VA hospitals often struggle with complex legal issues and financial burdens. The state allows claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) but imposes caps on noneconomic damages, which are typically limited to $750,000. Legal proceedings can be daunting due to strict statute limitations and the need for expert medical testimony to prove negligence.

When someone is injured or killed by malpractice at a VA facility, it doesn’t affect just them. It affects their entire family. Our law firm represents families in claims against the Department of Veterans Affairs when Department of Veterans Affairs was negligent and caused injury or death to their loved one.

Yes, you can sue the VA for medical malpractice in Wisconsin. Veterans, their family members, and servicemembers can file claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) for medical negligence by U.S. government employees. It’s crucial to be aware of Wisconsin’s specific damage caps and statutes of limitations, which might influence your claim. For more information, explore our VA medical malpractice page or consult with an attorney to fully understand the state and federal laws that may affect your case.
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally 3 years from the event or 1 year from the discovery of the injury, whichever is later. However, no action can be commenced later than 5 years from the date of the alleged act or omission. It’s vital to consult with an attorney to understand the specific time limits applicable to your case. For comprehensive guidance, visit our FTCA claims page or seek a free case evaluation.
While the FTCA itself does not impose damage caps, Wisconsin law has a cap on noneconomic damages for medical malpractice cases set at $750,000. These state-specific caps may influence your claim, so it is essential to consult an experienced attorney familiar with both state and federal laws.
