Veterans and military families trust New Jersey's VA medical centers and military hospitals to properly evaluate and diagnose their symptoms. Unfortunately, misdiagnosis—including failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, and incorrect diagnosis—remains a serious problem. This can lead to devastating consequences for patients and their families.
Studies show diagnostic errors cause approximately 10% of patient deaths and 6-17% of hospital adverse events, affecting millions of Americans annually. At the Archuleta Law Firm, our founding attorney brings a unique perspective as both a licensed attorney and medical doctor. This allows us to understand both the legal and medical complexities of misdiagnosis cases at federal facilities.
If you or a loved one suffered harm due to misdiagnosis at a New Jersey VA or military facility, you have legal rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). With over $145 million recovered for clients and 25+ years of experience handling FTCA claims, we understand how to hold the U.S. government accountable for medical negligence at federal facilities.
