Types of Municipal Liability Claims

Municipal liability may include a trip and fall on a sidewalk due to a pothole, vault or manhole cover, or other street defect. It may also include a crash or accident that was caused by a negligently operated bus, train, subway, or ferry. Even a police vehicle involved in a chase that strikes a pedestrian or another car is also a municipal liability claim. Anything that involves a city, town, village, county, or state operator can be considered a municipal claim.
