Government Tort Claims | Understanding Lawsuits Against The Government

If the government entity or employee’s actions or negligence causes a citizen’s death, injury or destruction of property, that citizen may have a right to file a tort claim against the government to recoup damages.Unfortunately, suing the federal government is much more complex than a traditional civil action, with many different exclusions and limitations. Only a qualified attorney with experience in this area should handle such a case.

Situations That May Lead To Governmental Liability

Some of the circumstances that often lead to governmental liability include:

  • Property injuries on governmental property, such as slip and falls, injury from broken elevators or escalators, or fires, or wrongful eviction
  • Civil rights violations, including false arrest, unlawful imprisonment or detention, or malicious prosecution

Strict Filing Deadlines

It is vital to contact a lawyer as soon as possible if you wish to file a lawsuit against a state or federal government entity. Injured parties have two years from the time the claim arises to file.
