Description:

Kansas City, Missouri personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a Federal Tort Claims Act auto negligence theory.

Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state, while it recognizes the legal doctrine of "comparative negligence." Under this doctrine, a plaintiff who is partially responsible for their own injuries may only collect damages in proportion to the defendant's degree of fault.

Under the FTCA, the federal government acts as a self-insurer, and recognizes liability for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its employees acting within the scope of their official duties.
