U.S. Supreme Court Declines Review of Military Medical Malpractice Case | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

My colleague Emily Mapp Brannon has written a blog on the Virginia Beach Injuryboard about an airman who was left in a vegetative state after what records revealed to be a series of errors at a military hospital.
The case raised hopes the U.S. Supreme Court would finally overturn the Ferres Doctine that protects the federal government from being held liable for negligence that injures or kills active-duty military personnel. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court decided not to consider this case.
