Re: car accident on federal property
There are several types and catagories of torts. There are also different jurisdictions. I would need more information to provide you with the correct response. Additionally, all other circumstances surrounding this incident would also need to be evaluated before we can assist you. Can you provide more information?

It is not clear from your question just what your theory of liability might be.
To answer your specific question about where to get a tort claim form to present to the federal hospital, you can get one online using the following link:
http://www.usdoj.gov/civil/forms.htm
Click on the Standard Form 95 link and if you have the latest version of Adobe Reader, you can fill out the form online and print it out. After you fill out the form (following the instructions on the back of the form), sign it in the box provided and submit it to the hospital.
If you suffered more than property damage to your vehicle (such as bodily injury), you probably should talk to a lawyer familiar with personal injury law and with the special procedures applicable to the Federal Tort Claims Act.
