Serving New York, including Brooklyn, a personal injury attorney from Levine and Slavit can assist you with filing a personal injury claim to ensure that your family has the best chance of obtaining compensation.

Municipal Liability Lawsuits
Local governments are responsible for designing and maintaining safe public facilities, including roads, sidewalks, bridges, and parks.

Some common municipal liability cases include:
- Singe Vehicle Accidents (including pedestrian accidents)
- Public Bus Accidents
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Medical Malpractice (applicable to government-owned hospitals)
- Catastrophic Injury Cases
- Wrongful Death Cases

Though each case is different, it may be possible for the plaintiff to obtain compensation for medical costs, loss of wages, and pain and suffering.
