Government Liability Law

Government Liability Law refers to the legal principles that determine when a government or its officials can be held responsible for actions or failures that cause harm to individuals. In the context of public officers, this law recognizes that while governments generally enjoy immunity from lawsuits, certain exceptions exist. For instance, if a public officer acts negligently or outside their lawful authority, they may be liable for damages. This legal framework aims to balance holding public officials accountable while protecting them from frivolous lawsuits when acting in their official capacity.
