What should I do after a car accident involving a city or a state-owned vehicle?

The following is a list of things you can do after a car accident involving a city or a state-owned vehicle:

·         Get a police report of the accident. A police report can be helpful because it will include details of the crash, including the names and contact information of those involved.
·         Make sure that the other party involved in the accident is the government, and not a private party. A vehicle may look like it is being operated by the government, while in reality being owned and operated by a private company.
·         It may not be apparent what part of the government a vehicle belongs to. Finding the appropriate government agency is imperative if you would like to take legal action.
·         Before you can sue in the civil court, you will need to file an administrative claim with the government.
·         Organize all documents related to the accident. Get all your photos, papers, documents, and bills in order. If you are not efficiently organized, there is a risk that your claim will be thrown out or not taken seriously.
