Summary of the Federal Tort Claims Act
Federal laws apply to every citizen in the United States. The United States Federal government has immunity; therefore, it may not be sued unless it has waived its immunity or consented to suit. Through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), the government waives its immunity for certain acts committed by its employees, including medical malpractice.
