The FTCA provides a legal means for compensating individuals who have suffered personal injury, death, or property loss or damage caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of an employee of the federal government. There are exceptions to what claims may be payable under the FTCA, but it generally allows individuals to recover monetary damages from the United States under circumstances where the United States, if a private person, would be liable in accordance with the law of the place where the negligent or wrongful act occurred. The following procedures apply only to claims filed with ATF. The information contained in this section is not meant to constitute legal advice and ATF counsel cannot provide legal advice to claimants.
