claims against the United States

Claims against the United States refer to legal actions where individuals or entities seek compensation or redress for injuries or damages caused by federal government actions. These claims can arise from various situations, such as accidents involving federal employees or harm caused by government decisions. The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows citizens to file these claims, but there are specific rules and limits, and often, the claims must be filed within a certain timeframe. The government typically has immunity, but the FTCA provides a pathway for people to seek accountability.
