Government acts through its individual employees. Each of these employees, because they act on behalf of the government, carry a great deal of power and through that power, a great ability to harm citizen interests. The ways in which a private citizen can be harmed vary as greatly as the government employee's job title, from police officer, to prison doctor, to a city councilman or woman, each can harm an individual citizen's rights.
Types of Claims
Claims against the government and its employees include everything from police brutality, to negligence, to taking of personal property without just compensation, including government exercise of eminent domain. It is important to seek legal help as quickly as possible when dealing with a claim against the government because the time to pursue a claim can be as short as one year.
