my name is michael archuleta, and my passionis to handle federal tort claims, and specifically, military and veteran's malpractice cases underthe federal tort claims act. i've been doing this for about twenty years. some of my backgroundthat's helpful to handling these cases is that i'm also a physician. before i went tolaw school, i completed medical school and i completed an internship, and i'm a licensedphysician, which makes me a medical doctor. and, that has been one of the most importantthings that i've done in my life, and in my career. i went to law school because i ampassionate about helping people and their families when someone is injured or killedas a result as a result of medical negligence. later, i focused my practice on military andveteran's military malpractice cases, because
i have found that those families and thoseveterans and those military members are some of the best clients that a lawyer could everhave. a primary misconception that we've heard clients say many times is that they were toldthat the government couldn't be sued, or that the army/navy/air force/veterans affairs departmentcould not be sued, because they were the federal government. that's not true in all cases.it's really important for someone who has been injured by medical malpractice at a governmentfacility, such as a military or veteran's facility that they have their case evaluatedto see whether or not there is an avenue for recovery for their case. congress made thefederal tort claims act specifically so citizens of this country, and other countries, whoare injured by the federal government could
bring claims against the federal government.it is a congress-sanctioned activity. there is nothing wrong with having your claim evaluated,and there is absolutely nothing wrong with bringing a claim against a government agency.so, the first thing i encourage you to do is to act as expeditiously as you can whenyou think that there may be a potential case. the second thing is it costs nothing, andthere is absolutely nothing wrong with having a case evaluated.
