Federal Tort Claims

Cross & Bennett represents individuals in pursuing tort claims, such as medical malpractice claims, against the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act.  There are numerous federal medical installations in the Colorado Springs and Denver area, such as Evans Army Community Hospital on Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy Hospital and the Veterans Administration.  When federally-employed doctors or nurses are negligent in carrying out their duties within the course of their employment, the federal government can be held liable for that negligence.  Cross & Bennett has extensive experience in this area of the law that requires special knowledge about the intricacies of pursuing a claim against the federal government.  Because of important notice requirements, you should immediately seek counsel if you feel you may have a claim against the federal government.
