Government Tort Law and Legal Definition
Government tort means a tort committed by a government by means of an employee, agent, or instrumentality, who performs or carries out their functions under the control of the government. Government tort is not actionable, if the government is entitled to sovereign immunity. A tort action against a state is governed by the state’s tort claim act, and a tort action against the U.S. government is governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act.
