Unique Challenges In Government Vehicle Accident Cases
Accidents involving government vehicles differ from standard motor vehicle accidents due to the additional legal hurdles they present. These challenges include:
Liability and Sovereign Immunity
Government entities and their employees often enjoy sovereign immunity, which provides certain legal protections. However, exceptions exist, particularly in cases of negligence. Establishing liability requires a detailed investigation to determine how and why the accident occurred.
Shorter Deadlines and Notice Requirements
Filing a claim against a government entity involves strict deadlines, often much shorter than the statute of limitations for other personal injury cases. Additionally, you may be required to file a formal government claim form within a specified timeframe. Missing these deadlines can result in the denial of your claim.
Preserving Evidence
Government agencies often conduct their own investigations, which may complicate access to evidence. Our attorneys diligently gather and preserve crucial information, including police reports, witness statements, and vehicle maintenance records, to build a strong case.
Compensation For Government Vehicle Accident Victims
If you've been injured in an accident involving a government vehicle, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical Expenses: Covering past, current, and future treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time off work and reduced earning capacity due to injuries.
- Pain and Suffering: Addressing emotional distress, mental anguish, and diminished quality of life.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for repair or replacement of your vehicle and other damaged belongings.
