Handling Federal Injury & Medical Malpractice Claims
Fort Campbell houses tens of thousands of active duty military. The base provides services to their families, the families of reservists, and retirees. One of the most important services is medical care at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital.
With Fort Campbell housing so many people, accidents do happen – but they need to be dealt with effectively. Injured service members are barred from suing the federal government for injuries suffered in accidents, but non-service members such as dependents, retirees, and civilians who are injured on base do have the right to pursue compensation.

Car Accident While on Active Duty? Here’s What You Should Know.
If you were on active duty and were involved in a car accident, you may be eligible for compensation and disability benefits. However, recovering compensation or obtaining benefits is a complicated process. It is advisable to contact a personal injury attorney experienced with military injury claims.
One of the issues of being injured during active duty is finding military medical care. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel orders can make this complicated because relocations interrupt treatments. It involves finding a new provider and establishing a new routine for the treatment. It also complicates documentation, billing, and evidence if one wishes to pursue a military injury claim.
