Jacksonville Federal Tort Claims Attorneys

Holding the Federal Government Accountable for Negligence

When the negligence of a federal employee or agency causes harm, victims can seek justice through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). This complex area of law allows individuals to recover compensation for personal injuries, property damage, or wrongful death caused by federal government employees acting within the scope of their duties.



Our experienced Jacksonville attorneys are here to help you navigate the intricacies of federal tort claims and ensure your rights are protected.

What is a Federal Tort Claim?

The FTCA enables individuals to file claims against the federal government for negligence. Common examples of federal tort claims include:

  • Medical malpractice at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals
  • Car accidents caused by federal employees
  • Injuries caused by federal law enforcement misconduct

While the FTCA waives the federal government’s immunity in many cases, strict rules and deadlines apply.

Why Federal Tort Claims Are Complex

Pursuing a federal tort claim is different from filing a standard personal injury lawsuit. Complexities include:

  • Filing Deadlines: You must file an administrative claim within two years of the injury.
  • Exhausting Administrative Remedies: You cannot file a lawsuit until the government denies your administrative claim or fails to respond within six months.
  • Sovereign Immunity Exceptions: Certain claims, such as those arising from military combat, may be barred by sovereign immunity.
