Veterans and military families rely on VA and military hospitals for brain care in Indiana. Medical mistakes with brain injuries can permanently harm patients and devastate families.
Our founding attorney is both a lawyer and doctor, giving us deep insight into brain injury cases. We use this expertise to prove negligence under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).
Federal law protects victims of brain injury at VA or military facilities. The FTCA lets you seek compensation, but you must act quickly with expert legal help.
What Causes Brain Injury at Indiana Military & VA Hospitals?

Failure to Diagnose Traumatic Brain Injury: Doctors must spot TBI signs quickly. Missing them leads to worse brain damage.

Medication Errors Affecting Brain Function: Wrong medication doses can cause brain bleeding or oxygen loss. Staff must follow safety rules.
-
Surgical Negligence During Brain Procedures: Mistakes during brain surgery can cause new damage beyond the original problem.
-
Delayed Treatment of Stroke Symptoms: Quick action prevents brain damage during strokes. Staff must recognize warning signs immediately.

Inadequate Post-Operative Monitoring: Poor monitoring after surgery lets complications cause permanent brain damage.
