Negligent Driving Claims under FTCA
If you were injured by the negligent driving of a federal government employee, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries and medical expenses through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). This act governs injury claims against the government and government employees and spells out how such claims are to be handled.
At the Augusta, Georgia law firm of Burnside Wall LLP, our attorneys have been filing claims against the government for wrecks or injuries caused by federal employees. We fight for full compensation for our clients. Equally important, we have been handling such claims for many years and understand how to complete the often-complicated process. Our combination of experience and knowledge gives us the ability to move our client's claim forward in a timely and aggressive manner.

Examples of Negligent Driving Claims Against the Government
We help people receive the compensation they need and deserve after being injured in an accident caused by a negligent driver. We handle cases involving federal employees such as:
- Postal workers
- Corps of Engineers employees
- Army employees serving at Fort Gordon and other installations
- Civil Service employees
Our attorneys investigate the accident just as we would any auto accident, interviewing witnesses, consulting accident reconstruction experts and analyzing the scene. We gather all required documentation and file the completed Standard Form 95 — the form required for claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Our thorough knowledge of the FTCA allows us to evaluate your case quickly and determine your eligibility to file a claim. Although most claims that could be brought against private parties can also be brought against the government, there are several exceptions. Our lawyers can tell you whether your case would constitute one of the exceptions.
