Federal Tort Claims Act
(FTCA)
If you have
been injured by a government employee in the United States, then you
have a right 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,
