If you are a service member of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army or another branch of the military, you probably already know that you cannot sue the government if you are injured in the course of duty.
- On the other hand, you might not know that your dependents (your spouse and child or children) can make an injury claim under provisions of the Federal Tort Claims Act if they are injured in a military hospital or on any other government property.
- Also, you might not know that you could file an injury claim against a negligent third party (such as a subcontractor or an equipment manufacturer) if you, the military service member, were injured in the course of your service.
