Federal Tort Claims Act Amendments

The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows people to sue the U.S. government for certain wrongful acts by federal employees. Amendments to this act have expanded or clarified the government's liability, addressing issues like claims related to negligence, mismanagement, or accidents on federal property. These amendments help ensure that individuals injured by government actions can seek compensation while balancing the government's need to operate without excessive litigation. Overall, the FTCA and its amendments provide a legal framework for accountability while protecting federal interests.
