FTCA

A quick definition of FTCA:

The FTCA is a law that allows people to sue the Federal government if one of its employees does something wrong while on the job. Before this law, the government couldn't be sued for anything. But now, if someone gets hurt because of a government employee's mistake, they can ask for money to help them. However, there are some things the government can't be sued for, like if the employee meant to do something bad. The rules for these cases depend on where the person files the lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946 (FTCA) is a law that allows individuals to sue the Federal government for the wrongful actions of its employees while they are on the job. Before this law was passed, the government was immune to most lawsuits. However, the FTCA changed that and made it possible for people to hold the government accountable for negligence.

For example, if a postal worker is driving a mail truck and causes an accident that injures someone, the victim can sue the government under the FTCA. The government may be held responsible for the actions of its employee and may have to pay damages to the victim.

It's important to note that the FTCA has limitations. The government is not liable for intentional actions of its employees, and punitive damages are not allowed. Additionally, the laws that apply to an FTCA case may vary depending on the district court where the claim is filed.
