If your personal injury was the result of negligence by a government worker, agency, or office in Florida, you may be eligible to sue the government agency or office for negligence. The State of Florida provides conditions under which government agencies or offices can be held liable for personal injuries. However, the process for filing a personal injury claim against a government agency or office is different from filing a lawsuit against a private entity. For example, the claim must be made within 3 years and not 4 years like with private entities. It is therefore important to consult a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
