Practice Areas Government Liability

All of the government liability lawyers that work for us here at Chain | Cohn | Clark is guaranteed to have the education, experience and knowledge to help you with your government liability case. Bringing a lawsuit against a government entity, public utility or municipal group can be unnerving due to the vast resources that these agencies have at their disposal. However, calling for government accountability occasionally falls to private citizens. A government liability lawyer can help you obtain justice and compensation after suffering an injury or the loss of a loved one because of government negligence.

Government Liability Lawsuits

In the United States, the sovereign or government tort immunity policy provides enhanced protection for government employees and even entire agencies. The policy lets government workers and agencies avoid prosecution for actions that they could be held liable for if they were operating as an individual or private corporation. With this provision in place, government liability cases can be complex, but winning one is not impossible. At Chain | Cohn | Clark, our government liability lawyers are willing to take on the challenge.

Exceptions To Government Immunity

The federal government and a number of states do allow restricted sovereign immunity waivers. This exception gives private citizens the right to sue after they’ve become injured during an accident involving a government owned vehicle. Sovereign immunity waivers may also include accidents that occurred because of government employee negligence. Government liability lawyers can guide you through a lawsuit against a government entity.

Defective Streets or Highways

Defective streets and highways can be an issue whether you live in an urban or a rural area. Vehicle accidents may occur when your local government fails to maintain the roads in your town properly or if construction signs do not provide adequate warnings. Public transportation accidents may also warrant legal action. A government liability lawyer can help you determine if compensation from the government is appropriate following an accident resulting from roadway defects, inadequate signage or a sleepy bus driver.
