VA Hospital Infection

Treated at a VA hospital? Your life may be in Danger!

Startling revelations by the Veterans Administration Department indicate that lapses in proper procedures at VA hospitals across the country have resulted in tens of thousands of people being exposed to serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses including Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and HIV.

Are you at Risk?

You or your family’s health may be at risk if you fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Did you receive treatment and care at a Veterans Administration hospital between January 1, 2008 and March 22, 2010?
• Did you receive any kind of treatment at a VA hospital in San Diego, Missouri, Miami, Tennessee or Georgia?
• Did you have a colonoscopy or any other endoscopic procedure at Palomar Hospital or Palomar Pomerado Health System in San Diego, or at Bruce W. Carter Medical Center in Miami?
• Did you have any dental work at John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis?
• Did you receive a certified letter from the hospital you were treated at to notify you of any potential exposure?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you or your family’s life may be in danger. Due to the failure to follow proper cleansing and sterilization procedures, thousands of people just like you may develop serious health complications such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV.

What can you do to protect yourself and your Family?

If you or your family are the victim of the carelessness and irresponsibility of the staff at a Veterans Administration hospital, and you or your family contracted a serious disease as a result, you have rights. One of those rights is to take legal action against the parties that caused them. That means contacting a dedicated, experienced and compassionate attorney to fight for you and get you the compensation you deserve.

You need to act quickly for a number of reasons. The first, and most important, is that if you have been exposed to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV you run the risk of developing serious and potentially fatal complications. Failing to act within as soon as possible and get the treatment you need could have serious financial, physical and emotional repercussions.

Second, suing a government agency can take a long time, involve a number of complicated legal procedures and requires the experience of an aggressive and dedicated lawyer to see it through each step of the way. Don’t lose out on your well-deserved financial compensation because you didn’t start your case in time.
