Government Claims

If your accident or injury was a result of negligence of a Tennessee or federal government agency or employee, you will have to follow a special set of rules that apply to injury claims involving the government. If you believe you were injured by a government actor, then your injury may have these special rules applied to your claim. Although local, county, state, and federal governmental entities are generally protected from suit, many of these entities have enacted laws that subject them to suit if the entity itself acted negligently and caused a personal injury to occur.

The firm is prepared to help individuals seek recovery for many types of accidents involving government negligence, including:

• Non-emergency accidents involving law enforcement or firefighters
• Dangerous or hazardous road conditions that cause an accident
• Car accidents involving a government worker
• Truck accidents involving state or local crews
