Government Liability Claims in NM

Albuquerque Lawyer: Government Liability

Don't let them get away with it. Call Will Ferguson.

At Will Ferguson & Associates, we do not feel any branch of government should be exempt from liability for the actions of its employees. Our attorneys have successfully sued the state of New Mexico, federal agencies, counties and municipalities on behalf of individuals.

Doctor malpractice by government employees

Your hospital or medical center may appear to be independent, but it is quite possible your doctor is a county employee, state employee or federal employee. This structure makes it more difficult for a patient to sue a doctor for malpractice since the claim is subject to caps and deadlines (under the Federal Tort Claims Act). In a malpractice lawsuit, a doctor who is employed by the federal government will be defended by the powerful federal prosecutor's office. The doctor will not be named in the suit, making it difficult for the public to identify the risk. Our lawyers have successfully recovered compensation for clients in malpractice liability suits against government employees.

City dump trucks, road defects, traffic signals

Our attorneys are prepared to handle claims against city and county agencies, including personal injury claims involving roadway defects, defective traffic signals and city dump trucks. In a recent case, we recovered compensation for a tractor-trailer driver who broke his back when a four-inch drop between lanes caused his truck to tip over.

Yes, you can successfully sue the government

If you have a case and if you are represented by an attorney with the right experience, you can win a personal injury or wrongful death case against the government.

It does not cost anything to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
