Governmental Agencies Can Be Sued Under FTCA
There are different types of accidents that can result in recovery against a federal governmental agency including:
- U.S. Postal Service truck accidents
- Veterans Administration hospital malpractice
- Federal park slip and falls
Any claim filed under the FTCA is subject to very specific rules and regulations. There are limits on the amount of damages that can be recovered and on the availability of a jury trial. Injury claims under the FTCA have their own statute of limitations that can bar a suit. There are also unique notice filling and other pre-suit filings because of the nature of the case against a federal agency.
These cases are complex. We take the time to explain your rights under the complicated federal law and the possible results based on those options. We know that every individual's situation is unique. Our personal injury lawyers develop strategies based on your legal goals and needs. We investigate the accident, prepare the evidence and draft persuasive fillings on your behalf.
