Segan, Nemerov & Singer, P.C.Municipal liability attorneys in New York—we fight city hall for you

We have all heard the expression, you can't fight city hall.  When you sustain a serious injury and you believe that the local, city, or county government is at fault, in essence you have decided to fight city hall.  Municipal liability law controls these types of civil suits.  In general, winning legal claims against the government and any of its agencies is quite difficult.  Certain immunities are in place to protect the government and its agencies.  The statute of limitations (specifying the length of time you have to file a lawsuit) is extremely short, often only 90 days from the date of the accident, thereby requiring the accident victim's timely action.

Do not go it alone

At Segan, Nemerov & Singer, PC, we have the experience and skills to boldly and effectively fight for maximum compensation for your serious injury when the government or one of its agencies is at fault.

We have successfully obtained relief for our clients in an array of municipal accidents such as the ones listed below:

  • Subway accidents
  • Accidents involving government vehicles
  • Public swimming pool accidents
  • Defective sidewalks
  • Accidents due to road hazards
  • Government equipment defects
  • Government premises accidents
  • City construction site accidents
  • City bus accidents
  • School injury accident
  • Negligence or recklessness by a government agency or its representative

If you are a victim of negligence on the part of a government agency in New York, you have a limited time to seek damages.  Call us today at 646.719.0891 or 212.696.9100 or click here to contact us online.
