Since 1946, veterans have had a powerful right under the law. When Congress passed the Federal Tort Claims Act, it allowed individuals to hold the U.S. government accountable for certain types of negligence – including medical malpractice. For veterans, that means if you’ve been harmed by negligent care at a VA hospital or clinic, you may be eligible to seek financial compensation. At Kelly & Lyons, we stand with those who’ve served our country.
