Where Sovereign Immunity Ends and Liability Begins: A Functional Restructuring of the United States Military Tort Compensation Scheme

Authors

• Jordon Parker, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

Abstract

The note critiques the current system of tort claims against the United States, particularly in cases involving the military, arguing that it is overly complex and fails to provide adequate compensation for injured individuals. It proposes replacing the existing tort system with a no-fault compensation scheme, similar to New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Act 2001, to better address the needs of victims.
