Veterans and military families trust VA and military hospitals to treat brain injuries properly. But medical mistakes in these facilities can cause severe brain damage that changes lives forever.
Brain injuries are responsible for 30% of all injury deaths in the US. Many of these deaths are preventable with good medical care. Our founding attorney is both a lawyer and doctor, giving us special insight into brain injury cases.
If you suffered a brain injury at a Nevada VA or military hospital, you can seek justice through federal law. Our firm handles these complex federal cases using both medical and legal expertise.
