Municipal Liability
The days of sovereign immunity are long over. Today, New York municipalities, including the City of New York and other towns, cities, and public agencies, allow themselves to be sued civilly. Therefore, municipal liability can be established against these governmental agencies for personal injury or wrongful death due to their negligence or carelessness. We understand the law and know how to protect the rights of a person injured due to the carelessness of a municipality or one of its agencies. These governmental agencies, however, are allowed to and do enact very strict laws and requirements that must be satisfied to properly bring a civil claim or lawsuit against them. For example, there are Notice of Claim deadlines and filing requirements that must be adhered to or the claim may be dismissed by a court. The time within which a lawsuit must be started can also be limited, sometimes as short as one year from the date of the accident. The legal requirements necessary to succeed in a claim against a municipality can be a minefield for the inexperienced. We understand the law and know how to protect the rights of a person injured due to the carelessness of a municipality or one of its agencies. Due to their vast undertakings, there are numerous claims that can result from the carelessness of a city, town, or other public agency. Some of these claims include the following:
- Car Accidents
- Medical Malpractice
- Hospital Errors
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Mass Transit Accidents
- Construction Site Accidents
- Fatal Accidents
- Trip and Fall Accidents
- Sidewalk Defects
- Bus Accidents
- Train Accidents
- Boat Accidents
