What court allows citizens to sue the government for financial compensation?

Citizens can sue the government for financial compensation in the United States through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which allows individuals to bring claims against the federal government for negligence and wrongful acts of its employees. Additionally, many states have similar laws that permit citizens to file lawsuits against state and local governments, often under specific conditions. These legal avenues provide a means for citizens to seek redress when they believe they have been harmed by government actions.
