FTCA Liability Confirmed - Federal employees must follow mandatory safety policies, or the government can be held liable. Discretionary Function Exception Rejected - The government cannot hide behind immunity when clear rules are broken. Justice for Victims - This case sets a precedent that those harmed by federal employee negligence have a path to full compensation.
