We can help you recover just compensation under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
The Federal Tort Claims Act is a federal law that allows an injured person to bring a claim against the US government. Typically, the federal government is immune from injury claims under the sovereign immunity, but when government employees are negligent or otherwise commit misconduct within the scope of their employment, The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is an exception to this immunity. While claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act usually involve the United States Armed Forces, they can also involve administrative and law enforcement agencies. For example, the Federal Torts Claim Act would be applicable to situations in which a federal agency or employee is the responsible party in an auto accident, slip and fall accident, or medical malpractice.
