A truck accident caused by an on-the-clock government employee has different rules than a standard personal injury claim. The first major difference is the deadline to file. Rather than the standard two-year window, you only have just six months to file a notice of the claim if you were injured by a stage-government-owned truck. Additionally, local and municipal governments may require an even more stricter time frame. Due to the complicated and time-sensitive procedures required when a governmental agency is involved, it is best to consult an attorney immediately.
