Government Liability

A city, state, town, county or federal entity or its subdivisions may be liable for personal injury.

Such claims arise commonly from defective sidewalks, city bus accidents, accidents at construction sites owned by a governmental agency, accidents upon government-owned properties, etc.  Special rules apply to cases against the government which differ from similar cases against an individual.  The most important difference is the shorter time allowed within which to file legal papers (the statute of limitations).

It is therefore crucial that you promptly consult an attorney who knows your rights.  This office has, over the course of numerous years, successfully brought cases against New York City, The New York Transit Authority, The New York Housing Authority, New York State, The United States of America and many towns, villages and counties within New York State.

If you think you may have this type of claim, contact us promptly to discuss the case further.  Call Brooklyn Injury Law.net at 1 (866) 99 TRUST.
