What Is a Government-Affiliated Injury Case?

A government-affiliated personal injury case involves an accident or injury caused by:

  • A government-owned vehicle or employee
  • A dangerous condition on public property
  • A public transportation agency (e.g., MTA, Metro, public buses, or trains)
  • A city, county, or state department
  • Public hospitals or schools

Examples include car accidents with city maintenance trucks, slip-and-falls in government buildings, and injuries on public transit.

Why These Cases Are More Complicated Than Private Lawsuits

Unlike private businesses or individuals, government agencies are protected by sovereign immunity—a legal concept that limits their liability. However, California’s Tort Claims Act allows you to pursue compensation in certain cases—if you follow specific procedures.

Key Differences in Government Claims:

  • You must file a Notice of Claim within 6 months of the incident.
  • The agency can accept or deny your claim (most are denied).
  • You can only file a lawsuit after your claim is denied.
  • There are shorter statutes of limitations.
  • Additional layers of bureaucracy and review

Missing even one step—or one deadline—can bar you from ever filing a lawsuit, which is why it’s critical to act fast and get legal guidance immediately.

We Handle All Types of Government Injury Claims

Lopez Law Group can represent you in cases involving:

  • Auto accidents with police cars, fire trucks, or city vehicles
  • Injuries on public sidewalks, streets, or parks
  • Metro and MTA accidents (buses, light rail, trains)
  • Unsafe conditions in public schools or buildings
  • Negligent security or lack of maintenance on government property
  • Assaults or injuries involving government employees

We investigate thoroughly, determine which government entity is responsible, and ensure that all filings are made on time and by the book.

What Compensation Can You Recover From a Government Entity?

Despite the extra legal steps, you may still be entitled to significant compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income and future wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation or long-term care
  • Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
