What Happens When City Vehicles Cause Damages
Accidents like this often involve city-owned and operated vehicles. As a resident, you expect those working on behalf of the city to have ample training and guidance to avoid such incidents, but with intense winter weather comes uncertainty.
If you are in an accident with a city-owned or operated vehicle, it is critical that you take immediate action to protect yourself. That includes documenting what occurred and getting immediate medical support. Keep in mind that you must report the incident to the local government entity within a matter of weeks, and you can only file a claim within a few months. Typically, that means you need to act quickly to seek compensation owed to you.
