NEW JERSEY GOVERNMENT NEGLIGENCE INJURY LAWYERS

Levinson Axelrod, New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers, specializes in representing clients who have suffered serious personal injury or wrongful death in New Jersey. If you have been injured due to the negligence or willful disregard of a governmental agency, hiring a skilled personal injury attorney to protect your rights is your best recourse.

When an injury or accident occurs and it is caused by the negligence or carelessness of a City, State or Federal agency, the injured party may file a claim against the appropriate government agency for injuries and damages.

There are a variety of situations in which an injury results from the negligence of a governmental agency. Here are a couple of examples:

If a person were to become injured after falling on a broken sidewalk, they might be able to file a claim against the agency responsible for maintaining that sidewalk. Municipal groups are responsible for the upkeep of various city and State properties, and if a person is injured as a result of negligent maintenance, a claim can be filed against the municipal agency.
If a traffic accident is caused by the negligence of a governmental employee - on the job - and you suffer injures and property damage, a claim can be filed against the governmental agency employer of the person who caused the accident.
When the government fails to properly regulate something that causes injury or sickness in one person or a group of people, a lawsuit may be filed against the government. In January 2004, a group filed a lawsuit against the Washington State Beef Commission for allowing ill cows to be slaughtered and sold as acceptable beef. The group claims that the commission was negligent in regulating food safety, therefore causing people to become ill.
If an automobile accident on a public or federal road or highway is caused due to an unsafe condition or improperly maintained roadway, there may also be cause to bring an action against the responsible state or federal agency.

The statute of limitations for lawsuits against the State of New Jersey or any governmental agency is very strict and if you do not file the proper documents within the time restrictions you may forever be barred from monetary recovery. If you have been injured and you feel a governmental agency is at fault, you should seek qualified legal representation immediately.
