Federal Tort Claims

Kansas City Injury Lawsuit Attorneys

Like any other institution, the federal government and its employees can act harm people through negligent actions.

A Veterans Affairs doctor may cause a wrongful death through negligence and medical malpractice. A law enforcement officer may commit a heinous act of brutality that results in serious injuries to the victim. A contractor working on a government project may cause a construction accident.

But suing the Federal Government for the wrongdoing of its employees is very difficult. By the terms of the Federal Tort Claims Act, it can be done, but only in certain circumstances.

At McLeod & Heinrichs, we have extensive experience in pursuing these difficult and often complex lawsuits. We understand how to make the Federal government pay damages for losses and suffering caused by the negligence of government employees.
