Can I Sue the VA for Medical Malpractice?
Yes, you can sue the VA for medical malpractice. Most malpractice claims are initiated using a Standard Form 95 Claim. If there is a valid basis for your claim, it can proceed under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), wherein the VA can be held liable to the same extent as a private practitioner.
However, it is not easy, and you should speak with an experienced VA medical malpractice attorney in Johnson City before attempting to bring a claim on your own. If you are suing the VA for medical malpractice, consulting an experienced VA medical malpractice lawyer is essential in order to navigate the hurdles.

Things get pretty complicated quickly when one attempts to apply Tennessee’s laws for initiating malpractice lawsuits through a notice letter while, at the same time, adhering to the requirements for initiating the claim under FTCA. On top of this, the limitation periods for initiating lawsuits differ between Tennessee State law and the limitation provisions applicable to suits against the VA.

Both attorney and paralegal were awesome.
I just wanted to say how grateful and happy I am with this firm in resolving my case. I was involved in a car accident and the parties responsible offered me close to nothing for my resolve. I felt that it was unfair and not right. So I decided to get me a lawyer. I called a few lawyers and they all heard my case but only Mr. Haynes called me back and agreed to meet with me. Since day one of my accident he and his staff always were there for me and never left me in the dark. The case my resolve beyond what I was expecting and my satisfaction. I highly recommend Mr. Haynes and if I ever need any lawyer service again (hope not) I will be contacting them again. Thank you and God bless.
