Taking legal action against the federal government involves unique challenges, but you do not have to navigate the process alone.

What Makes a Federal Tort Claims Act Case Different?
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows eligible individuals to seek compensation from the United States government for certain negligent or wrongful actions committed by federal employees acting within the scope of their employment.
Unlike traditional personal injury lawsuits, FTCA claims generally require injured individuals to submit an administrative claim to the appropriate federal agency before filing a lawsuit.
Strict procedural requirements, filing deadlines, and exceptions to government liability can make these cases particularly complex.
Our attorneys help clients understand these requirements and determine whether federal law provides a path toward financial recovery.
Federal Negligence Claims We Evaluate in Georgia
Federal negligence can occur in many circumstances, including medical treatment at government healthcare facilities and accidents involving federal employees.
Potential claims include:
- Medical malpractice at VA hospitals and qualifying military medical facilities
- Accidents involving United States Postal Service or other federal vehicles
- Injuries caused by dangerous conditions at federal government properties
- Negligent treatment at qualifying federally supported healthcare facilities
- Wrongful death resulting from federal employee negligence
Our team evaluates claims throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, and Macon.
If you believe federal negligence caused your injuries, request a free case evaluation today.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Generally, an FTCA administrative claim must be presented to the appropriate federal agency within two years after the claim accrues. Additional deadlines may apply after an agency denial.
Missing an applicable deadline can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation.
