Municipal Litigation

Lawsuits against municipalities can arise in a variety of ways, from trips and falls on municipal property accidents involving government-owned vehicles, to zoning disputes and negligence claims against municipal employees.

Often, cases against municipalities have an extra layer of complexity as opposed to lawsuits brought against private entities because different rules and regulations may apply, and because approval for settlement with a municipal entity may need to be obtained in a special proceeding before a settlement can be completed.

Our panel of neutrals understands how municipalities work, how decisions are made, and how to settle these cases effectively.
