Supreme Court to Consider Deadlines for Suing Federal Government

The AP reports that the Supreme Court “will consider how strict deadlines should be for people to sue the federal government for negligence.” The court on Monday agreed to hear two cases “where lawsuits were filed too late,” and the AP notes that in both cases, “a federal appeals court ruled it was fair to let them go forward anyway.” The Obama Administration “says Congress intended the deadlines to be firm.” The AP notes that in one of the cases before the court, the FHWA “improperly installed safety barriers that caused a fatal accident” and “the plaintiff claims he discovered new evidence after the 2-year deadline passed.”

From the news release of the American Association for Justice.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
