PUBLIC ENTITY CLAIMS

WE WIN MAJOR CASES AGAINST PUBLIC ENTITIES

Your expert advocate if you have been harmed by a municipal, state or federal entity

Have you been seriously injured, or has a loved one been killed, due to the negligence or recklessness of an on-the-job employee of a public entity, or on property owned by city, county, state or federal government?

  • Have you been in a collision involving a police department, fire department or other government vehicle?
  • Were you hurt by a falling tree branch in a park, or seriously injured due to a pothole or sidewalk defect?

Winning a major lawsuit against a public entity such as city, county, or police, fire or sheriff’s department takes enormous skill and experience. These opponents have nearly unlimited resources and will fight fiercely, even when there may be evidence of gross negligence.

Heinrich Law has a track record of victory in these contentious matters.

A NOTABLE WIN

Peoples v. County of Alameda
Result: $3 Million

A Sheriff barreled through a red light, crashing into our client’s car causing him to sustain a traumatic brain injury.  For two years, the Sheriff’s department blamed our client.  A trial was scheduled.  We knew we needed incontrovertible proof that the Sheriff was at fault and our client’s injury was severe.

Through our dogged investigation, use of experts and advanced technology, we proved our case.

We shifted the Sheriff’s position from blaming our client for the accident and refusing to settle, to offering a $3 million dollar settlement the week prior to trial.
