Municipal Liability Attorneys – Serving Rockland County, Brooklyn, and New City
One of the main responsibilities of any municipality is to protect the safety of its citizens. If cities, counties, townships, police departments, school districts, or any other governmental agencies are negligent in these duties and fail to meet the standards that are expected and required of them, then serious accidents and injuries can befall their constituents. If you have been hurt due to the negligence of a New City, Rockland County, or Brooklyn government agency or employee, then a municipal liability lawyer at the practice of Neimark and Neimark, LLP can help ensure that guilty parties are held accountable for their actions and that you receive the compensation you deserve.Types of Municipality Lawsuits
Municipality lawsuits can be filed against government agencies or against individual employees of those agencies. For example, if your child was hurt in a school accident because the playground was not properly maintained, then the school district can be sued. If you've been the victim of police brutality, then a lawsuit can be filed against the individual officers responsible.
Many lawsuits are brought against municipalities whose failure in designing or maintaining roads has caused automobile, truck, and other types of motor vehicle accidents. Government agencies can also be at fault when roadside safety barriers they've erected do not offer the protection they should. In addition, public transit systems can be put on trial if their negligence caused subway, train, or bus accidents to occur.
Premises liability cases may be brought against government agencies when faulty structures, inadequate lighting, or unkempt curbs and sidewalks lead to slip and fall, trip and fall, or other types of accidents. Municipalities are also required to keep their citizens safe by enforcing fire and sanitation codes in public buildings.
