What Laws Apply to Public Entity Liability Cases?

Civil claims against a government entity, like a police department, school district, public works department, transportation agency, city, or state, to name a few, have many challenges. The biggest challenge is the special procedures and protections that are designed to limit the liability of the government and its agents. These laws, including the Federal Tort Claims Act and state-equivalent legislation, make it more difficult to hold government defendants liable for damages. In addition, they include procedures that can confuse the claim process and place additional requirements on claimants. Many unsuspecting individuals are unaware that a Notice of Claim often must be lodged with the correct government entity before filing any lawsuit. There are many procedural pitfalls for the unwary, making it important to seek legal guidance through the process from a San Francisco public entity liability attorney.
