Public Employees Liability

Public Employees Liability refers to the legal responsibility of government workers for actions taken in the course of their duties that may cause harm to individuals or property. If a public employee, like a police officer or a teacher, engages in negligent behavior or misconduct while performing their job, they can be held accountable in a lawsuit. This concept protects the public by ensuring that employees act responsibly, while also allowing employees to serve the community without the constant fear of personal legal repercussions, as the government typically provides liability insurance for such cases.
