A recent Associated Press report disclosed that the V.A. has not responded with settlement offers or an acknowledgment of responsibility for numerous medical mistakes relating to colonoscopies performed at V.A. hospitals.
Filing a complaint for compensation against the V.A. for medical malpractice or other misconduct is handled differently than other cases. The law which governs V.A. cases is controlled by the Federal Tort Claims Act. Here at our Atlanta Georgia personal injury law firm we have represented many victims of medical negligence and other misconduct committed while at a V.A. hospital or other facility. These cases are highly specialized and require knowledge and experience of the technical rules that the Federal Government requires to be followed.
