MUNICIPAL LIABILITY LAWSUIT HELP
Attorney Eric H. Weinberg has represented municipal liability victims, and has obtained for example, a recovery of $8.4 million on behalf of a child who was paralyzed in a car accident caused by an improperly maintained county road, and $300,000 on behalf of a student injured at school as a result of the district’s failure to properly supervise students.
Unlike lawsuits brought against private parties, lawsuits against municipalities are governed by special sets of specific laws and procedures. In addition, many municipal liability laws require that a notice of claim be issued and served on the municipality within a short time following the accident.

Municipal Liability Accidents
The governments of cities, towns, counties, states, and other municipalities, as well as the Federal government, are responsible for the actions of their employees, and the conditions of their equipment, properties, and facilities. These governmental agencies build and maintain our roads, provide public transportation, create parks for our families, and provide schools for our children and facilities for the care of our seniors. When they fail to do so properly and safely, a municipal liability accident may occur.
A municipal liability accident can occur in a wide variety of circumstances. Some of the more common situations involving municipal liability claims involve:
- Roadway design and maintenance failures
- Defective or dangerous sidewalks and roads
- Dangers or hazards in public parks or swimming pools
- Improper operation of municipal vehicles and equipment
- Municipal vehicle road accidents and pedestrian accidents
- Bus accidents
- Railroad accidents
- Police brutality
- Poor maintenance of public buildings and structures
- School and day care center incidents
- Senior day care and nursing home incidents
Accident victims may be unable to return to their previous employment or active lifestyle for weeks, months, or even years. They may also require long-term, expensive medical care to manage their injuries. However, victims and their families may be entitled to compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering as a result of an injury. If you have lost a loved one, you may also be entitled to compensation for loss of companionship or guidance.
