When someone has been injured or killed as a result of a dangerous condition or negligent action by a government entity, it is important to contact a lawyer immediately. There is a short statute of limitations within which to present a claim to a public entity or your claim will be barred. This is a unique area of the law that requires specialists to handle your case.
