Military Accidents & Medical Malpractice Under the Federal Tort Claims Act

For over 40 years, Shulman Rogers has been a leader in representing clients in Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) cases. Our seasoned attorneys, some of whom have served in the Army Claims Service, bring invaluable depth of experience to the FTCA process.  If you or a family member have experienced medical malpractice or negligence in a military hospital, or have been involved in an accident with a government vehicle or aircraft, you may be eligible to seek damages under the FTCA.

Navigating the FTCA Process

Filing an FTCA claim involves navigating a unique set of rules and deadlines that differ from typical personal injury cases. The process requires a deep understanding of federal and state law along with federal procedures, codes and regulations. Our legal team excels in guiding clients through every step of the FTCA administrative claim process and subsequent litigation.
