Governmental Liability

The government has a duty to keep citizens reasonably safe when it is conducting government activities, such as placing children in foster homes or conducting a high speed police chase. If a government entity harms a citizen while conducting its activities, the government may be legally responsible. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers believe that the government should be held accountable when its actions lead to the injury or death of individuals.
