The complaint, filed in federal court in West Virginia's southern district, alleges a doctor deprived a 42-year-old Army veteran at the VA Medical Center in Beckley of his constitutional right to bodily integrity during a February 2019 examination.
The posted information includes details from VA personal injury cases, pain diary entries, fee agreements and HIPPA consent forms. It is unclear, however, whether clients from the firms are aware some of their sensitive information has already posted to the web.
Disability compensation is a monthly, tax-free payment designed to compensate Veterans for an injury or illness incurred or made worse from active military service, regardless of when they served. A disability can apply to physical conditions, such as a chronic knee condition, as well as mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
