Tort Claims Act Definition
A federal or state law that waives the government's sovereign immunity under certain conditions, allowing lawsuits by people who claim they've been harmed by negligent or intentional torts (wrongful acts) by a government or its employees. Before the enactment of tort claims acts, governments couldn't be sued without the legislature's specific consent.
