Can I amend an FTCA claim after filing it?

Potentially, yes. In many situations, a claimant may be able to amend an administrative claim before the federal agency issues a final decision or before the claimant files a lawsuit in federal court. An amendment may be appropriate if additional medical treatment occurs, damages change, or new information becomes available. Because amendments can affect filing deadlines and the agency’s review process, they should be prepared carefully and submitted before the administrative claim concludes.
