What Is Military Medical Malpractice?
Military medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider at a military hospital or clinic fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. This can involve various types of negligence, such as failing to diagnose an illness, making an error during surgery or treatment, prescribing the wrong medication, or failing to provide appropriate follow-up care, among other things.
Unlike traditional medical malpractice cases, military medical malpractice claims often involve additional complexities due to the involvement of federal laws, regulations, and military protocols. That’s why it’s crucial to work with skilled attorneys who understand the intricacies of these cases.
Our Portsmouth military medical malpractice lawyers have in-depth knowledge of the laws governing these claims and are well-versed in navigating the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and other legal frameworks. We aim to make the process as smooth as possible while advocating for the justice and compensation you deserve.

- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or causing unnecessary injuries, can have life-altering effects. We are equipped to handle complex surgical error claims.
