Federal Tort Claims
Mr. Beck has received a $25 million verdict on behalf of his clients in a Federal Tort Claims case where he sued the United States for injuries received by hospital negligence committed on several newborn children.

Therefore, it is important to have an experienced attorney like Mr. Beck representing you in these complex claims.
Whistleblower Claims
In many cases, having an experienced attorney means protection for the client. This is especially true with Whistleblower Claims. A Whistleblower Claim is a report made by an individual who finds unethical or illegal activity taking place within their company, or in the case of a government employee, within the government. These claims are very important for ensuring that companies and governments are held accountable for their actions. While there are several laws in place designed to protect a Whistleblower from retaliation by their employer, you need an experienced attorney like Mr. Beck to walk you through the process and apply those laws.
