Free public domain source (CRS report)[edit]
I see this is already in the external links, but I'm making an effort to put CRS reports on the relevant talk pages, since they're so encyclopedic. http://wikileaks.org/wiki/CRS:_Federal_Tort_Claims_Act%2C_September_2%2C_2008
PS : see my contribs page for a list of pages I've added CRS reports to Agradman talk/contribs 08:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Delete duplicate information[edit]
These two sentences have the same meaning. There's no reason to say this twice. I've deleted the second sentence.
Federal courts have jurisdiction over such claims, but apply the law of the State "where the act or omission occurred". 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b).
In addition, under the FTCA, "Liability is determinable in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred" (§1346(b)(1))

Why is there no Wikipedia article about the Westfall Act (Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 00:22, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
"Most torts" is misleading, FTCA is just for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death[edit]
The first sentence should be changed from "most torts" to "personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death". Standard Form 95 doesn't allow other types of claims.--TDKehoe (talk) 02:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
