Service members and veterans trust Hawaii's VA medical centers and military hospitals to provide expert treatment for serious spinal cord conditions. Unfortunately, medical negligence during spinal surgeries, emergency care, or routine procedures can result in catastrophic spinal cord injuries. These injuries permanently alter lives and leave families facing overwhelming challenges.
The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reports 17,810 new spinal cord injuries annually in the United States. Proper medical care and protocol adherence could prevent many of these injuries. At the Archuleta Law Firm, our founding attorney is both a licensed attorney and medical doctor—providing us with unique expertise to understand the complex medical standards involved in spinal cord injury cases and identify when those standards have been violated.
If you or a loved one suffered a spinal cord injury at a Hawaii VA or military facility due to medical negligence, you have legal rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). You must understand these rights and Hawaii's legal requirements to secure compensation for lifelong care and support.
