About Federal Tort Claims
6) What is the statute of
limitations for filing a Federal Tort Claims Act case?
In most cases you must file the administrative claim in writing with the
appropriate Federal agency (using the appropriate forms and paperwork) within
two years after the accident or injury. The federal agency then has six months
to investigate. During that time the agency may deny the claim early, or try to
negotiate a settlement. At any time the agency denies the claim in writing sent
by certified or registered mail, the next step is to file suit in federal court.
If the 6 months expires and the agency still has not denied the claim or settled
with you, you are free to consider it a denial and file the claim in Federal
court anyway.
