It’s worth noting that she won a similar case against the State of California to the tune of $20 million, so there’s definitely some credibility to her case. Unfortunately neither California or the U.S. Government will learn anything from being sued for gross negligence, they’ll just pay the settlements and act like nothing else happened.
I think the State of CA settled in a VERY hurried fashion, so it’s technically not right to say she “won” a similar case. I am not so sure she would win or could even achieve standing to sue in Federal court. IANAL.
I’m really unsure if she could even get into court against the Feds. I’m unaware of any particular supervisory role the Feds play/played in this case/these cases. And it’s probably highly immunized against suit. I could be big-time smelly wrong on this, I don’t think there’s any Fed liability here, even in a highly jury-nullified situation.
