According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in December 2015, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. suffered damages as the result of its insured vehicle being damaged in an accident with an FBI vehicle. The plaintiff holds the United States of America (FBI) responsible because the defendant's employee allegedly disregarded traffic rules while keeping a proper look out.
