Municipal and School Accidents

Standing Up for People Injured by Government Negligence

You may have heard that you can’t fight City Hall. It isn’t true. Government agencies and schools may try to give you the runaround, close ranks around their own employees, impose strict deadlines on your claims and otherwise try to deter you, but they cannot stop you from standing up for your rights.

At The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny in New York City, we bring municipal and school litigation on behalf of people who have been injured due to the negligence of government employees. Time may be of the essence, so contact us today for a no-obligation consultation with experienced trial lawyer Richard M. Kenny.

Demanding that Schools Protect Children From Injury

When you entrust your children to the care of school personnel during the school day, the school system has a heavy legal and moral responsibility to make sure they are protected and provided with a safe environment for learning and growing.

All too often, when school employees fail to live up to their responsibilities and behave negligently or abusively, children are seriously injured as a result. Our law firm uses litigation to hold schools accountable for their failures.

We have represented children and their parents in cases involving inadequate supervision, assaults by school employees, children being instructed to take dangerous actions, failure to provide emergency medical attention, and other school injury circumstances.

We are devoted to giving a powerful legal voice to children who have been mistreated by schools that were supposed to take care of them.

Bringing Legal Claims Against Cities and Towns

If you have been injured in any way by employees or policies of the city of New York or any other county, city, town or village in the state, we may be able to help you pursue compensation for your injuries. We are experienced at bringing municipal litigation over many different types of issues, including the following:

• Police brutality
• False arrest and improper police conduct
• Faulty sidewalks
• Inadequate security in public housing
• Neglect and abuse in city-run nursing homes

Municipalities are obliged to respect individual rights and avoid causing injuries through negligent and reckless conduct. Whether you’ve been injured due to mistreatment by a city employee or poor maintenance of municipal facilities, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your litigation options with an experienced trial attorney.
