Cases against the federal government operate under a different set of rules than claims involving private defendants. Federal Tort Claims Act litigation begins with an administrative claim and involve strict requirements, agency investigations, and complex questions of government liability.

National Trial Law is a nationwide law firm with extensive experience handling FTCA cases involving medical negligence, serious motor vehicle wrecks, and other harm caused by federal employees and agencies. Our attorneys have pursued these cases from the administrative stage through trial and appeal.

We had two successful FTCA trials in 2026. We secured an $8.6 million judgment in a postal truck FTCA case. We also secured an $11 million settlement following an FTCA birth injury trial.

The warning was already in writing. Recent developments involving hospital safety failures, VA medical care, commercial driver licensing, and a Supreme Court case highlight the importance of documentation when investigating serious injuries.

For injured individuals and their families, medical records, inspection reports, regulatory findings, and other documentation can provide critical evidence about what went wrong. Read our latest blog to learn why the paper trail may matter more than you think.

Recent hospital errors, VA failures, CDL enforcement and a Supreme Court case reveal why documented warnings and paper trails matter in injury claims.

A commercial truck wreck may involve far more than the actions of one driver. Trucking companies, contractors, cargo operators, maintenance providers, and other corporate entities may each play a role in the circumstances that caused the crash.

Identifying where responsibility lies requires a detailed investigation of company records, driver logs, vehicle data, maintenance histories, and compliance with federal trucking regulations.

This year, we obtained a trial verdict of over $8.6 million in a distracted driving case.

Approximately 214,110 traumatic brain injury-related hospitalizations occurred in the United States in 2020. That is more than 586 hospitalizations every day, and the figure does not include injuries treated only in emergency departments, urgent care centers, or physician offices.

A traumatic brain injury can affect memory, movement, communication, employment, and the ability to live independently. In cases involving permanent impairment, understanding the full impact requires careful analysis of medical evidence, future treatment needs, and long-term financial losses.
