In New York, if you sustain injuries because of a slip and fall, a car accident, or any other accident arising out of someone’s negligence or misconduct; you may file a personal injury lawsuit against the erring individual or entity. But what happens if the negligent at-fault party is a government agency or entity? What recourse do you have under New York law if your injuries are due to the negligence of a municipal agency, for example, you slip and fall on a cracked stairway at the city hall?
