What Is Military Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical provider fails to provide medical treatments that do not meet the accepted standard of medical care, resulting in a patient’s injury or loss. When such a situation occurs in the setting of a military medical center or military hospital, it is considered military medical malpractice.

In legal circles, medical malpractice lawsuits are known to be highly complicated, and military medical malpractice cases can be even more intricate. When you need to file a claim, make sure you choose a law firm that understands this complex area of the law and all the regulations that surround it—a law firm like National Trial Law.

Our military medical malpractice attorneys can handle cases in Honolulu that involve:

  • Misdiagnosis: When a medical provider fails to diagnose a patient’s condition accurately or in a reasonable amount of time, it can be considered a misdiagnosis, especially if better medical care could have allowed for a better diagnosis.
  • Surgical errors: Military hospitals are often the first choice for military service members and veterans who need different types of surgeries. If an error occurs during surgery, though, it can be considered a surgical error.
  • Birth injuries: If a child is born with a birth injury after being born in a military hospital or on-base medical center, it may be considered a serious form of military medical malpractice.
  • Medication errors: The wrong type or amount of prescription medication can cause serious health complications. Prescription or medication errors are considered military medical malpractice when they result in a patient’s injury.
  • Wrongful death: Did you lose a loved one to military medical malpractice in Honolulu? Our law firm offers compassionate legal counsel for people who need to file wrongful death claims.
