Federal Tort Claims Act Claims Lawyer

When an injury or fatality accident occurs due to fault of the federal government or one of their employees, there are legal options for victims. Under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) of 1946, citizens or other individuals can bring legal action against the government for injury, loss of property or wrongful death, requesting monetary compensation. Some incidents the FTCA covers includes:

  • Car accidents involving an on-duty federal employee
  • Aviation accidents involving an on-duty federal employee or aircraft
  • Medical malpractice at a Veterans hospital
  • Injuries within federal buildings – premises liability

While it is possible to make a claim against the federal government under the FTCA, this is not a simple matter. Federal employees and facilities are immune to lawsuits, and the matter must be taken against the federal government. An administrative claim must be filed, usually within two years of the accident/injury. The agency involved has the opportunity to pay the claim in full or deny the claim. If the claim is denied, an FTCA lawsuit can be pursued in federal court.

Lawsuits Against the United States Government

Not all attorneys handle FTCA claims or lawsuits. The process is long and expensive, and the case must be handled in federal court. However, due diligence by an experienced personal injury law firm can obtain a favorable outcome.

In an FTCA aviation case, the plaintiffs received $11.7 million in damages in a federal court after a two-week trial in March 2017. The victim, a 52-year old father and husband was killed in a plane crash that was caused by negligence of the U.S. Civil Air Patrol.

FTCA claims can be lengthy, and many personal injury law firms are not equipped to handle these complex cases. However, as experienced aviation and FTCA personal injury attorneys, our team at Conley Griggs Partin LLP is prepared to take on the federal government for our clients. Contact one of our offices in Georgia if you have lost a loved one in an aviation or other accident caused by federal government negligence.

Bruce Millar The Millar Law Firm Atlanta, GA

As an Atlanta Attorney I have known Cale Conley personally for nearly 20 years. I first heard about Cale through other lawyers, who talked about his remarkable skill and great results as a trial attorney. When I finally had the chance to refer a case to Cale and work with him as a colleague, I was blown away by the level of his professionalism, knowledge and skill. Over the past few years I have referred several clients with large and complex cases to Cale and his firm and have been extremely impressed with the results he has obtained! In my opinion, Cale is one of the best Attorneys in the United States. Not just in Atlanta or Georgia, but anywhere. I am totally confident in referring any case or client to him. Not only is he a great attorney, he and his firm and partners take good care of clients and care deeply about them. If I could give Cale and his firm more than 5-Stars I would.

I had the pleasure of trying a very complicated products liability case with Cale Conley and Davis Popper. They and their entire office are fantastic, and I could not recommend them more highly. The entire process, from the time that we brought them in to work with us, through the course of the case and trial, was seamless. Cale, Richard, Rance, and Davis are some of the finest trial lawyers in the Country, and I look forward to working with them on future cases.
