Government Liability Claims

Government touches nearly every aspect of a person’s daily life: police and fire protection, schools, roadways, and even health care to name a few. Although the general rule is that the government cannot be sued, there are circumstances when a client can pursue a claim against the government. Every person who believes the government is responsible for a loss must comply with strict notice requirements and definite time limitations. An experienced attorney should be able to recognize the areas the government can be sued upon and protect the time elements necessary to preserve the claim for a successful and satisfactory result.
