Veterans and military families in Hawaii trust that VA medical centers and military hospitals will safely prescribe, dispense, and administer their medications. Unfortunately, medication errors at federal facilities can result in serious injuries, adverse drug reactions, and even death. These preventable mistakes represent some of the most common forms of medical negligence in hospital settings.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reports that medication errors harm 1.5 million Americans each year, primarily in hospital settings. At the Archuleta Law Firm, our founding attorney brings a unique dual perspective as both a licensed attorney and medical doctor. This provides unparalleled expertise in understanding both the medical standards of care and the legal complexities surrounding medication error cases.
If you or a loved one suffered harm due to a medication error at a Hawaii VA or military facility, you have legal rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Successfully pursuing these federal claims requires expertise in both medical standards and federal legal procedures.
