A recent AAJ article reports that a petition is pending requesting that the Supreme Court allow active duty military personnel to sue the government. Petty Officer Nathan Hafterson died on March 26, 2006, at Naval Hospital Jacksonville after being admitted for trouble breathing. His attorneys state that it would put military members on the same footing as civilians under the Federal Tort Claims Act. This malpractice action was denied by the lower courts because a federal law (known as the Feres doctrine) prohibits active military members from suing the US government.

Christine Vogel is quite busy as a trial attorney. A fierce advocate for injured clients, she is comfortable battling insurance companies and insurance doctors who routinely contradict treating doctors, general practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, radiologist, etc. From jury selection through taking a verdict . She will go toe
