Veterans and military families trust New Hampshire VA and military facilities to perform surgical procedures with the utmost care and precision. Unfortunately, surgical errors at federal medical facilities can result in devastating, life-altering injuries. These injuries could have been prevented through proper medical care and adherence to established standards.
The largest-ever personal injury judgment in New Hampshire history—$21.5 million—was awarded against the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Manchester for medical malpractice that led to a veteran's "locked-in" syndrome. At the Archuleta Law Firm, our founding attorney is both a licensed attorney and medical doctor. This dual role provides unique insight into surgical error cases and the medical standards of care that federal facilities must follow. This expertise has helped us recover over $145 million for clients nationwide.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries due to surgical errors at a New Hampshire VA or military facility, you have legal rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). You must understand these rights and FTCA claim requirements to secure compensation for federal healthcare provider negligence.
