Yes, but there are strict laws that dictate how to handle this type of claim. You can only hold a government employee liable if they were performing their job duties at the time of the accident.
Instead of filing with the state, you must file directly with the municipal or local government. Each governmental website has instructions on how the process works and the forms you will need to complete.
You are also required to file a notice of claim with the appropriate government agency within six months after the accident occurs. You should include in the notice the date, time, location of the crash, a description of your injuries, and how it happened. It’s important to note that some entities may set shorter timeframes.
