San Bernardino Municipal
Vehicle Attorney
Although many accidents causing personal injuries involve private individuals or companies, some vehicle accidents may involve municipal vehicles, such as an ambulance. Because these types of cases can be complex, and they will need a thorough investigation, individuals involved in the accidents are urged to contact the law offices of Welebir Tierney & Weck. Our San Bernardino municipal vehicle attorney will be able to help you with this type of personal injury case.
Can You Sue a City or the Government?
It is certainly possible to sue a city or government office when they are at fault because of an accident involving one of their municipal vehicles. However, you will need to act quickly. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the accident. The statute of limitations in California for pursuing action against a government entity is limited. You will need to file before that time is up, but you will want to talk to experienced attorneys first. At Welebir Tierney & Weck, we will be able to advise you on the best course of action, and we will fight for your rights.
If the statute of limitations is missed, it is sometimes possible to file a late claim. The Inland Empire attorneys from Welebir Tierney & Weck will help you through the process if you have to file late. It is best to contact our offices as quickly as possible though, so you can get things moving with your case faster.
Riverside Municipal Vehicle Lawyer
Government vehicles for the city and the county, as well as other levels of government, can seem to have a different set of rules from ordinary civilian vehicles. In the case of some of these vehicles, that is entirely true. However, they still must maintain a level of safety. Some of the municipal vehicles commonly associated with personal injury accidents include fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, street sweepers, public works trucks, and garbage trucks.
The accidents with these vehicles will often occur because of negligence, and it might be difficult for many people to prove that the negligence was on the part of the municipal vehicle. They may also involve an impaired driver, defective parts in the municipal vehicles, and more. Cases involving these vehicles can become mired and complex very quickly, and that means you need to have an attorney who has experience with cases that include municipal vehicles.
