The government makes the rules in our society and so often the government makes rules that benefit the government. The Federal Tort Claims Act (38 CFR § 14.600) is another example of that issue. Did you know that if you intend to sue a federal government entity, such as the U.S. Postal Service or the U.S. Coast Guard, you are required to give them written notice of your intention to bring a lawsuit against them within 1 year and 6 months of the date of the incident. In addition, the Federal Tort Claims Act reduces the overall personal injury statute of limitations (date by which you must file a lawsuit) by a full year – suit must be filed within two years of the date of the incident. There are even more restrictions on your rights if you sue a federal government agency or actor, so if you want to know your rights relative to your personal injury action against a federal agency, call Orlando & Associates, P.C.
