Justice Department Report Alleges Serious Mistreatment at State Veterans Home

By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti

ADVERTISEMENTS

A report released by the United States Justice Department alleges the care received at an Alabama veterans home has "contributed to the untimely deaths of ... residents as well as led to other preventable illnesses, injuries, and harm." Veterans injured while receiving care through the Department of Veterans Affairs may bring what is known as a Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuit against the government for negligent care and medical malpractice committed by a VA facility. Further, state law may provide those injured the ability to sue VA nursing homes as private citizens. To read more about this Justice Department report, please click here.
