Government & Municipal Liability For Damages
Have you been affected by the action or inaction of a public authority? Seek compensation.
Sometimes institutions get it wrong - they issue unlawful acts, refuse an administrative service or simply do nothing. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer the consequences at your own expense.
If you have suffered damage because of illegal acts or omissions of the state or municipality, you are entitled to compensation.
In what cases can I help
I work with private clients who have suffered from:
- Refusal or delay of an administrative service (e.g. building permit, birth certificate, social benefits)
- Unlawful act by the traffic police, NRA, municipality or other institution
- Unlawful dismissal from state or municipal employment
- Damage suffered during a police check, detention or search
- Problems with cadastre, property regulations or restitution
- Repealed acts or decisions that have already harmed you
Why seek help in time
- The time limit for making a claim is 5 years, but the earlier we start, the easier it will be to gather evidence.
- Institutions often refuse to take responsibility voluntarily - without a lawyer it is difficult to defend your rights effectively.
- Even where there is no "intent" to harm, the liability of institutions is objective - it is sufficient that there is harm and an illegal act.
How the process works
- 1. Consultation - we analyze your case and discuss options.
- 2. Document collection - we establish the facts and evidence.
- 3. Legal assessment and strategy - you will get a clear opinion on the chances of the case.
- 4. Representation before the court - I prepare a statement of claim, protect your interests.
Consultation
