If you have been seriously injured as a result of the negligence of a city, county, or other government agency or entity, you may be left with no choice but to pursue a personal injury claim against the government.
There are a number of factors that make it difficult and complex to pursue a personal injury claim against a government agency. These entities have in-house legal teams that vigorously defend against personal injury claims, regardless of whether the government is truly responsible for the victim’s injuries.
Examples of personal injury lawsuits against Washington State government agencies include:

Government negligence or legal liability for a person’s personal injury or wrongful death may not be common, but when a Washington state government employee or agency is responsible for causing harm it is important that they are held responsible for their actions. Government negligence can take many forms, and in many cases having an attorney on your side can protect your legal rights and interests so that you are not taken advantage of.
Filing a lawsuit against the state of Washington, a local county or a municipality is not like suing a corporation or individual. There are special procedures and specific court rules that are required when suing a governmental entity. As the victim of negligence by a governmental entity you must be very careful in filing a claim as special rules apply and if you fail to follow those rules, the courts may decline to hear your case and you could be left with nothing.
Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers frequently works with people who feel they have been wronged by the government. In addition to getting financial compensation for our client’s injuries, we also seek to bring about change in our community to make Washington state a better place.
For example, we previously represented the estate of a man who was tragically killed in a high-speed car crash with a wanted violent felon who ran a red light. The felon was allowed to roam free while having multiple warrants out for her arrest, and the Department of Corrections failed to properly supervise her despite having concrete knowledge of her whereabouts. You can read more about this case here.
If you have a claim against a governmental entity, certain requirements must be met. A verified claim form must be served on the authorized agent for the governmental entity. Serving a valid claim form on the government is a prerequisite to bringing a legal case against the government.
It is important to note that the content and service of the claim form must substantially comply with the requirements of the statute. Failure to comply may result in the claim being denied and/or dismissed by a court of law. Once a claim form has been properly verified, presented, and served on the appropriate governmental entity, you must wait a period of 60 days before a lawsuit can be filed in court.
The failure to wait 60 days is a fatal mistake that will invalidate the claim and result in the dismissal of the case. The filing and presenting of claims against a governmental entity can be complex and confusing, so it may be beneficial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible following the accident.
