The Federal Tort Claims Act protects your rights if you were injured at a Nevada VA facility. You must file claims against the government quickly.

• Surgical Errors During Spinal Procedures: Poor surgical technique can damage the spinal cord directly. Surgeons who ignore protocols can cause paralysis.

• Anesthesia Complications: Low blood pressure or bad positioning during surgery can cut off blood flow to the spine. This can cause permanent nerve damage.

• Delayed Diagnosis of Spinal Emergencies: Doctors must spot warning signs quickly. Some conditions cause permanent damage within hours if untreated.

• Medication Errors: Wrong doses of blood thinners can cause bleeding. Bad injection methods can harm the spine directly.

• Post-Operative Monitoring Failures: Staff must watch for complications after surgery. Missing early warning signs delays critical treatment.

• Improper Handling During Emergencies: Moving injured patients wrongly can worsen spine injuries. Proper stabilization is essential.
