Description

A Guide to the Federal Tort Claims Act 2nd Edition Paul Figley ISBN 9781641052917

This practical guide offers a clear, accessible, and concise overview of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and the body of case law interpreting it. It is designed for attorneys and legally trained readers who are new to the FTCA, unfamiliar with its procedures, or returning to the statute after limited recent experience. At the same time, it serves as a convenient reference for practitioners at all levels who are preparing to undertake in-depth research on specific FTCA issues.

The guide explains the FTCA’s waiver of sovereign immunity, including its purpose, scope, exclusions, and statutory exceptions, as well as the procedural requirements for presenting administrative tort claims and filing suit in federal court. It also addresses the protections the FTCA affords to federal employees named in tort actions. In addition, the book outlines the Act’s rules governing damages and related financial matters, such as attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. The guide concludes with an examination of the FTCA settlement process, offering practical insights and strategies for effective settlement negotiations.
