Injured Due to Government Negligence? Act Quickly.

Bringing a claim against a municipality or government entity—such as a city, town, county, or public agency—comes with strict procedural requirements. Whether your injury involved a public sidewalk, school district, government vehicle, or municipal employee, you must act quickly to protect your rights.

In New York, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days of the incident.
In Pennsylvania, the deadline is 6 months (180 days) from the date of injury.

These deadlines apply regardless of the severity of your injury and are strictly enforced by the courts. Missing the deadline could prevent you from ever filing a lawsuit—even if your case is otherwise strong.
