Summary
To sue the FBI, you must file a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) before filing a lawsuit. For harassment by a disability insurer, ERISA generally covers benefits disputes, not harassment. Document all harassment instances and consider reporting to the police and filing a restraining order. Legal aid organizations in Washington, DC, like the Legal Aid Society of DC, can provide free or low-cost legal services.Full Conversation
