As you know, Colorado is home to a number of military bases, including those located in and around the Colorado Springs area. Just like civilians, active duty military personnel sometimes make mistakes while driving, and they sometimes operate their vehicles negligently. Military personnel are federal government employees, which means that if you are injured in a car accident with a soldier or other service member, the federal government may be responsible for your injuries and damages.
Suing the federal government is not like suing a negligent civilian driver, and you need a Colorado Springs military vehicle accident lawyer who has experience handling claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Colorado Springs car accident lawyers at Fang Accident Lawyers know that the prospect of suing the federal government may be intimidating to some, but not to us. We have spent more than a decade handling car accident claims, including those against the federal government.
We care about our clients, and we aggressively fight for their right to recover compensation. Whether your car accident claim is against another driver or the United States government, we will handle settlement negotiations and litigation in a way that serves your best interests.
Our solider accident attorneys fight for maximum compensation for their injured clients. Some cases settle more quickly than others, but our attorneys always pursue full compensation rather than fast settlements that don’t provide our clients with the financial recovery that they deserve.
Some of our clients think that they do not have the power and resources to take on the federal government, but we take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You do not pay anything out of pocket for attorneys’ fees. Our Colorado Springs military vehicle accident lawyers will collect their fees after you have secured your financial award.
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is a path for civilians to pursue compensation from the federal government for its employees’ negligent conduct. The FTCA is a complex law, and not every personal injury attorney has the knowledge and experience to take on the government in a personal injury claim. Only attorneys who understand federal law, the FTCA procedural requirements, and Colorado personal injury law should be entrusted with your claim.
Under the FTCA, the federal government is only liable to the same extent that a private citizen would be for conduct exhibited by its employees. In general, if a soldier’s negligence while driving leads to a car accident and resulting injuries, and a private citizen driver would have been responsible under the same circumstances in Colorado, the government will be liable for the accident. To further complicate matters, there are many exceptions and hurdles that your attorney must understand to succeed in an FTCA case.
