If you believe you have been injured on municipal or government property, or that your injuries involve municipal liability, it is important to speak to an attorney familiar with the complexities of suing a government entity.

Government entities - including cities, counties and states - often have specific laws in place to protect them from being held liable or to limit the amount a person can collect as a result of injury.

A municipality seeking to protect itself under these laws can severely limit your ability to collect damages early on in a case. Hiring a lawyer familiar with the unique requirements of you civil liability case is critical to protecting your rights.

Areas of municipal liability can include:

• Car accidents, faulty road construction, poorly visible, inoperable or nonexistent street lighting, signage or traffic control devices, and faulty safety devices such as guard rails.
• Construction accidents
• Tort Claims

Often times the investigations, including law enforcement response, are conducted by the very same municipality that may be at fault. And there are strict time limits on filing a claim.
