How To Sue a Military Hospital in California
Filing a Federal Tort Claims Act Lawsuit
When medical malpractice occurs at a military, VA, or other type of federal hospital or clinic, then you can’t use the typical methods of seeking compensation. In order to sue a government agency, you will need to file a lawsuit through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). You will have to use a Standard Form 95 to start an administrative claim to request compensation based on the “sum certain” total of your losses.
Our California military medical malpractice lawyers from National Trial Law are closely familiar with the specialized processes of these case types. Depend on our highly experienced and knowledgeable team, especially when your case involves such unique requirements.

Recovery Compensation in an FTCA Lawsuit
The compensation owed to you after being injured by VA or military medical malpractice could vary, depending on the specifics of your case. Overall, the FTCA will consider the potential compensation similarly to how a Military medical malpractice case would be handled in state civil court. However, as mentioned, the damages must be calculated and reported as the “sum certain” total in the Form 95. This amount can be calculated by our California military medical malpractice attorneys for you, so you don’t have to worry about the math that goes into determining economic and non-economic losses.
Damages in an FTCA case can include the following and more:
- Medical costs
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Physical impairment
No damages cap is placed on these cases by the FTCA, but any state law damage caps that apply in California will apply to your case. Also, the FTCA limits attorney fees to no more than 25% of the recovered damages, which makes our highly experienced counsel highly affordable.
