If you have been injured by a government employee in the United States, then you have aright to file a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).  As long as the injury was in the United States, then your claim will be decided under the rules of the FTCA.  In order to present a proper claim under the FTCA, you must first submit a claim in writing to the appropriate Federal agency.  There are specific rules and time lines which must be followed and this area of law is quite complex.  Once an appropriate claim has been filed, you must then wait a minimum of six (6) months to allow the United States to investigate the matter.  After six months have passed, you have the right to file suit in the appropriate United States Federal District Court.  Our attorneys have a great deal of experience with both the claims procedure and litigating these cases in the United States Federal District Courts.  For a confidential and free consultation, please call us TOLL FREE at 1-800-233-2890.
