Advocating for Your Rights When the Government is Negligent
The Colorado Springs personal injury attorneys of Anderson & Travis are skilled at seeking compensation for clients injured by persons acting on behalf of government entities. The harm may be caused by intentional action by a government agent or may result from the performance or the failure to perform an official function. In such cases, the government may be held responsible for the injured person’s loss and be required to provide compensation for the damages suffered.
Our experienced Colorado Springs personal injury attorneys can help you recover against a municipality, city, state, or the federal government. Common government negligence cases include:
- Police misconduct
- Accidents caused by failure to maintain (signs, buildings, roads, etc.)
- Accidents involving a governmental vehicle
- Injuries to children at school (bus accident, unsafe playground, etc.)
- Injuries in a military medical facility
We can help you recover just compensation under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
The Federal Tort Claims Act is a federal law that allows an injured person to bring a claim against the US government. Typically, the federal government is immune from injury claims under the sovereign immunity, but when government employees are negligent or otherwise commit misconduct within the scope of their employment, The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is an exception to this immunity. While claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act usually involve the United States Armed Forces, they can also involve administrative and law enforcement agencies. For example, the Federal Torts Claim Act would be applicable to situations in which a federal agency or employee is the responsibile party in an auto accident, slip and fall accident, or medical malpractice. Regardless of the government entity at fault, the attorneys of Anderson & Travis have the experience you need to obtain recovery.
We help you avoid the procedural and administrative pitfalls.
The administrative process involved in actions against government entities is unique to these types of personal injury cases. Therefore, in order to avoid compromising the chances for maximum recovery, it is essential to comply with all of the applicable requirements. If working with a Colorado Springs personal injury attorney from Anderson & Travis, you can rest assured that we have the experience and know-how to steer clear of any administrative pitfalls.
