National Military Malpractice Lawyers
Washington, D.C. litigators with a proud history of representing the military members and their families
The military malpractice attorneys at Klores Perry Mitchell P.C. have a special and important history of representing members of the military and their families who suffer injury as a result of medical malpractice throughout the United States and overseas.
Medical malpractice claims against the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines or Veterans Administration are complicated, requiring extensive, meticulous knowledge of the applicable legislation, procedural requirements, and military culture. Failure to understand the procedure in these matters can result in claims being lost.
Our Washington, D.C.–based national malpractice attorneys bring claims for malpractice against the United States under several forms of legislation:
Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)
The FTCA is a federal law providing for both administrative claims and lawsuits against the federal government. The FTCA provides opportunity, when needed, for dependents of active duty military and non-active duty members of the Armed Forces to bring personal injury claims against the federal government. The FTCA also allows for lawsuits against the federal government if the initial administrative claim is denied. These lawsuits are heard and decided by federal judges without juries.
Military Claims Act (MCA)
The MCA applies to claims filed by dependents of active duty military and non-active members of the Armed Forces (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard) for injuries suffered outside the United States or its territories. Preparing a claim under the MCA requires the care and diligence of a skilled malpractice attorney because there is no right to sue, therefore, no opportunity is provided for an impartial examination of the healthcare provider who caused the injury. Because of this, it is vital that evaluative reports by the best possible medical experts be included with an MCA claim. Our firm has secured among the largest settlements under the MCA.
Injuries experienced as a result of medical malpractice in the Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines or Veterans Administration can be devastating and difficult to pursue. Our military medical malpractice lawyers fought for and obtained a $28,389,289 verdict for a Navy family against the U.S. government for their son’s cerebral palsy, caused by improper prenatal care, and an MCA settlement of well over $5 million.
