Texas Military Medical Malpractice

Military Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Texas

Helping Injured Military Service Members Seek Justice

At National Trial Law, we have dedicated decades to representing service members, veterans, and military families who have suffered due to negligent medical care at military or VA hospitals. Founded in 1971, our firm has built a nationwide reputation for securing justice in complex Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and military medical malpractice cases. Some of our greatest case results include a $44.7 million trial judgment for a birth injury at an Air Force hospital and a $21.5 million verdict for a brain injury case at the Manchester VA Hospital. While past results can’t guarantee future results, we think they clearly show what we’re capable of achieving thanks to our experience, insight, resources, and reputation.

If you or a loved one were harmed by substandard medical care at a military VA hospital or on-base medical center anywhere in Texas, call (833) 913-1885 now to schedule a free case review.

Types of Military Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

Military and VA healthcare providers are held to the same professional standards as civilian doctors. When they fail to meet those standards, the results can be devastating, and you have the right to seek accountability under the FTCA if their mistakes hurt you.

Our legal team handles a wide range of military medical malpractice claims, including:

  • Birth injuries
  • Cancer misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Stroke misdiagnosis or failure to treat
  • Surgical errors
  • Medication errors
  • Failure to treat kidney disease
  • Spinal cord and brain injuries
  • Wrongful death

We have the experience, knowledge, and resources to take on the most challenging cases and stand up to the government when military negligence causes life-changing harm.

Major Military Medical Centers in Texas

As one of the largest states for military operations and healthcare, Texas has several key military and VA medical centers where medical malpractice can, and often does, occur.

Some of the biggest and busiest military-related medical facilities in Texas include:

  • Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (Fort Hood)
  • William Beaumont Army Medical Center (Fort Bliss)

Our firm has extensive experience dealing with and sorting through the complex legal and procedural requirements associated with military and VA medical systems, as well as legal claims that are filed against them. We know what it takes to prepare a compelling case against the government and seek full compensation when, originally, little to no compensation might have been offered to you.
