Filing an FTCA Claim After Military Medical Malpractice

Suing the U.S. Military for medical malpractice in a military hospital or on-base clinic is more complex than filing a civil court injury claim against a typical defendant. To take legal action in Panama City for military medical malpractice, you’ll likely need to use the FTCA.

To file a military medical malpractice claim using the FTCA, you’ll likely need to follow these steps:

1. Collect as much information as you can about the medical mistake that has left you ill or injured. Get copies of relevant medical records, which will be helpful for our attorneys.
2. Make a daily health journal that details what you are experiencing each day in relation to the injuries caused by military medical malpractice.
3. Fill out and file a Standard Form 95 to start the FTCA claim process, which must begin within two years of the medical malpractice incident. Some cases have a shorter statute of limitations, so you should talk to us as soon as possible about getting a Form 95.
4. Talk to an attorney about filing an FTCA lawsuit if your Form 95 or the compensation amount you require is rejected. You have just six months to start a lawsuit after the Form 95 is rejected by the relevant federal agency.
