San Diego’s Top-Rated Government Vehicle Accident Attorneys Will Get You Compensation for Your Injuries

Estimating the damages you received in the accident is especially difficult when you only have six months to diagnose and treat injuries. The full extent of your losses may be yet to be discovered. Our personal injury lawyers at Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys can help put together a reasonable amount to seek that will include both past, present, and future damages. Your losses will need to include both economic and non-economic measures.

Legal representation in government cases is so important. You must outline the damages thoroughly if you are seeking under $10,000. You must state in advance if you have a limited civil case above $10,000 but below $25,000. These particular procedures demonstrate why it is crucial to have a settlement amount determined by yourself and your lawyer ahead of time.

What to do Following a Government Vehicle Car Accident

Even though a motor vehicle accident involving a government car has different rules, your immediate actions would be the same as in any collision.

Call emergency services right away. You and the other motorists may need medical attention. Collect eyewitness contact information and document the scene with photos if you can. These go a long way towards helping your personal injury claim later on.

Notify police of the accident to document it and take statements from all motorists involved.

Documentation of any injuries in the medical record is necessary to seek damages. Insurance companies will try to fight you, so you must prove that you are taking all the required steps to heal. You can show this by obeying medical advice. See a doctor and follow their orders for a speedy recovery.

It would be best if you reached out to a government vehicle accident expert as soon as possible. Our personal injury lawyers can help you file your claim and handle communications with insurance companies. We will also advise you of the viability of your claim and keep you within the government’s statute of limitations. The time limit on these is lower than in other personal injury cases. Having someone in your corner during this trying time is essential, so do not hesitate to reach out today.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys, we specialize in representing victims of government vehicle accidents, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve. Our experienced vehicle accident attorneys are well-versed in handling cases involving government vehicles. We understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to providing personalized legal support. Read below for frequently asked questions, or call us today for any information or questions.

What is different about a car accident involving a government vehicle?

Some of the likelier parties in a government incident are fire trucks and police cars. Sometimes, you may not hear a siren or have time to pull over. You may get hit if you cannot react if they blow through a red light. Police cars in high-speed chases have caused large amounts of property damage and injury to innocent bystanders. You may be reluctant to pursue legal action against first responders. Still, you were an accident victim injured due to their actions.

Federal government service institution vehicles may collide with you. Garbage trucks, military vehicles, and mail truck accidents involve different branches of government. It would help if you had legal advice from your expert San Diego car accident attorneys at Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys.

What are the most significant differences between these and other personal injury claims?

The first hurdle you face is the government’s sovereign immunity. This clause protects the government from lawsuits. Before you give up after hearing this, we have ways of legally holding the appropriate parties responsible for negligent actions.
The other difference that makes it more challenging to pursue damages is the lowered statute of limitations. You only have six months to file a case against a government entity. This time limit gives you little time to recover from your injuries. Hiring an experienced law firm such as Chris Mova’s team right away will help you immensely.

Can a car accident claim be filed against the government?

The Federal Tort Claims Act provides citizens with exceptions to government immunity from lawsuits. These exceptions are:

When a government employee causes a personal injury accident.
When a government vehicle is involved in a car accident.
When a government highway has deteriorated and becomes dangerous to drive.

Some exceptions may also exist for government contractors, but we can review this option at our initial consultation. The wording of the FTCA is exact in who and what it will cover. The government individual must have been performing their job at the time of the accident, and they must have been driving negligently, resulting in the collision.

The FTCA covers accidents involving pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists injured in an incident with a government vehicle.

This exception to sovereign immunity is purposely tricky to discourage people from pursuing their personal injury claims. The government will try to deny your case. Without an experienced lawyer like one of the Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys, they may drop your claim immediately.

A San Diego Government Vehicle Accident Lawyer Can Help You File A Tort Claim

Our first step upon taking your case will be to collect and review all the evidence. We will require the police report, medical records, videos, pictures, and statements. If the facts prove that the government employee’s negligence caused the accident, we can hold them liable for your damages. A few things we will need to establish:

What type of vehicle was involved in the accident (and from which government agency)?
How did the government vehicle strike you?
Why did this accident occur?

We will file an administrative claim with the specific area of the government involved in your accident. This filing must take place within six months of the accident date. The Government Claims Program has 45 days to review and reply to this filing. Depending on what happens next, there are a few options.

If your claim is denied or the agency does not respond within 45 days, you can sue them in a civil court. You will have 45 days to do so, beginning when you received notice (or should have received this).

If your claim is not denied, you have the usual two years to pursue your personal injury claim.

The law offices of Chris Mova and his team can walk with you on every step of this journey to make sure you get the justice you deserve. It is unfair to suffer due to someone else’s negligent error.

Contact A Government Vehicle Accident Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Claim

You do not need to fight for financial compensation against an adversary as large as the government. Our legal team will assist you in your car accident case. Our aggressive team of personal injury experts can litigate on your behalf around the negotiating table or in the courtroom. We only accept a settlement once you are satisfied with it.

Our primary concern is getting you justice. We only accept payment from you once the at-fault parties have compensated you for your accident. As part of our attorney-client relationship, we take your case on a contingency fee basis if we decide to proceed after the initial consultation.

If you or a loved one are injured in an accident with a government vehicle, you are not alone. Call our 24/7 number or reach out through the contact form on this site today. We look forward to reviewing your case at the free case evaluation.
