What if my injury happened inside a federal courthouse?

An injury inside a federal courthouse may qualify for a Federal Tort Claims Act claim if it resulted from negligence by a federal employee acting within the scope of employment. For example, a claim could involve unsafe property conditions, inadequate maintenance, or another negligent act by government personnel. As with other FTCA claims, the facts of the incident, the identity of the responsible party, and compliance with administrative filing requirements all play an important role.
