Helping Guide To Fighting CPS/ DSS for Filling Out FTCA Form SF-95 for Consumers with Claims Against the CPS/DSS

The Need For Filing a Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA") SF-95 by Consumers Injured by the Negligent Acts of Federal Employee When a person is injured by the negligence of an employee of the United States government acting within the scope of his or her federal employement, the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA") is the sole statutory remedy for compensatory damages. Generally, a consumer must present an administrative tort claim to the appropriate federal agency within two years of the injury in order to preserve his or her claim. Many injured consumers undertake to file an administrative tort claim prior to consulting with a lawyer. The preferred method of perfecting an administrative claim is the Standard Form 95 ("SF95).
