Re: can the va or doctors of the va be sued

Yes. However, since this is a governmental entity you must go through different procedures than if you were suing a non-governmental physician.

Additionally, these procedures frequently require different time deadlines than an ordinary malpractice suit.

I would be happy to meet with you to discuss this matter.

Call me at 805-494-6557.
