When you seek emergency medical care at Hawaii's VA medical centers and military hospitals, you trust that healthcare providers will quickly diagnose and treat life-threatening conditions. Unfortunately, emergency room errors at these federal facilities can result in delayed treatment, misdiagnosis, and devastating consequences for veterans and military families.
A Johns Hopkins Medicine study found that medical errors cause 10% of U.S. deaths. This ranks as the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Emergency departments, where split-second decisions can mean the difference between life and death, are particularly vulnerable to negligent care. At the Archuleta Law Firm, our founding attorney is both a licensed physician and attorney—providing unique medical expertise to understand exactly how emergency room protocols were violated in your case.
