Military Legal Experience Applied to Malpractice Claims
Steve C. Franklin served for 20 years on active and reserve duty in the Navy JAG Corps. He worked as a prosecutor and defense attorney in criminal cases and served as the primary attorney for an overseas air base. His work included court-martial proceedings, administrative separation proceedings, and command investigations.
That background provides direct familiarity with military structures and administrative decision-making. Our lawyers also draw on knowledge of military, federal, and state law when assessing how a patient’s status and source of treatment affect a potential claim.
We have extensive litigation and trial experience. Depending on the governing procedure and available remedy, we can pursue a case through administrative proceedings, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial. Informed preparation matters when several legal systems intersect.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office

How We Handle Military Medical Malpractice in Bremerton
We begin by identifying who received the care, where it occurred, which provider was involved, and how the alleged error caused an injury. We then assess whether the potential route involves the active-duty administrative remedy, the Federal Tort Claims Act, or another proceeding.
Our review and case management may include:
- Examining medical records and the circumstances of the treatment
- Assessing the claimed injury and possible malpractice
- Determining how the claimant’s military status affects the available process
- Preparing and presenting the required federal filing
- Addressing negotiation or litigation when permitted by law
We provide clear communication and regular updates from the initial consultation through the applicable administrative or litigation process. Our attorneys can meet clients in person when convenient and travel to a client’s location when needed.
We can also assist with administrative proceedings, court-martial proceedings, and disability proceedings when establishing liability is relevant. The available path depends on the claimant’s status, the military provider involved, and the federal rules governing the claim.
Discuss Your Federal Medical Malpractice Options
A prompt consultation can clarify your filing deadline, the administrative route that may apply, and the records needed to evaluate the care you received. We offer free consultations and can travel to clients when needed for accessibility and convenience.
We handle these cases on a contingency basis, so clients pay nothing unless we recover damages.
