Because the Section has expertise in the evaluation and settlement of catastrophic injury cases, the Assistant Director may participate in settlement negotiations of claims handled by other federal agencies or in cases handled by USAOs. The Assistant Director provides advice and instructions to Assistant U.S. Attorneys on questions of law and Departmental policy.
