Government liability

Government liability refers to the legal responsibility of government entities for damages or harm caused through their actions, decisions, or policies. When a government or its agencies are found liable, they may be required to compensate individuals or organizations who have suffered losses due to negligence, misconduct, or failure to uphold legal duties. This concept ensures accountability and provides a mechanism for individuals to seek redress when government actions cause harm. Essentially, government liability balances the authority of the state with protections for citizens, ensuring responsible governance.
