Can I sue the federal government, the responsible federal agency, or the responsible federal employee without going through the federal tort claims process?
Federal tort claims are the only mechanism for presenting the vast majority of tort claims against the federal government, federal agencies or federal employees where the federal employee’s tort was committed in the course and scope of their federal employment. The Federal Tort Claims Act represents only a limited waiver of the federal government’s sovereign immunity from state tort law causes of action, and as such, its procedures must be complied with to assert these claims. If you have any questions as to the applicability of the Federal Tort Claims Act to your particular set of circumstances, please contact the Law Offices of Jeffrey R. Frank at your earliest opportunity to schedule a free initial consultation with a San Diego tort claim attorney.
