it's near impossible... in my son's case, he is a white male who would have an extremely difficult case to prove he was the victim of racial discrimination (the driver was hispanic), but i have no doubt that is exactly what happened (guilt by association)

Can you sue the federal government? Yes, under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The FTCA provides a limited waiver of the federal government's sovereign immunity when its employees are negligent within the scope of their employment. Under the FTCA, the government can only be sued 'under circumstances where the United States, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred.' 28 U.S.C. S 1346(b). Thus, the FTCA does not apply to conduct that is uniquely governmental, that is, incapable of performance by a private individual. Source(s): Attorney for 15 years answers.yahoo.com * * *
