Accident & Injury Law

Government Liability

Government Liability refers to cases whereby a government agency or employee is at fault for your injury. This can range from cases where a police or other emergency vehicle is operated negligently and results in an accident, to slow or no 911 emergency call response. Other cases involve the improper design and maintenance of our roadways and government buildings. Sometimes an injury can be caused due to a construction defect or inadequate security regarding a municipal building. Government liability is also commonly thought of as cases involving police misconduct (such as false arrest or police brutality). Other cases can involve civil rights violations regarding the denial of certain permits and licensing due to a person's race or ethnic background.

Government liability can fall into numerous categories. At Cantor Simon we represent all types of clients whose loved ones have been injured as a result of government negligence or intent. Please select a category below:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Personal Injury
• Brain Damage
• Wrongful Death
• Construction Defect/ Premise Liability
• Medical Malpractice

It is very important when dealing with government liability cases that you have a law firm that is experienced in handling these cases such as Cantor Simon. For example, if you plan on filing a law suit against a government entity you must submit a Notice of Claim letter to that municipality's risk management section within 180 days of the injury. If you fail to do so, you have now waived your rights to sue that government entity. There are some exceptions, however, if it was not discovered that the cause of the injury was due to a government agency until the 180 days had already passed. Again, it is very important that you have a skilled law firm to handle your case such as Cantor Simon.
