Can I File a Lawsuit Against Law Enforcement?

If you get hurt because of another driver’s negligence, you can file a claim against that driver. But what happens in cases where the accident was caused by a police vehicle or due to a police pursuit? In those instances, you may wonder whether the officer, the police department, or the municipality itself may be liable for your damages. When someone is the victim of a negligent act, whether due to a vehicle accident or caused by some other type of action, that person should be allowed to seek compensation for their injuries. You can file these types of cases, but they can be complex. An experienced personal injury attorney will help you with your claim.
