Cities, Towns, and other municipalities or their agencies usually receive additional protection from claims by very short filing requirements. For example, to pursue a claim against the City of New York, an injured party is required to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident upon which it is based. For this reason, if you are involved in an accident in which a municipality may be responsible, you must consult an attorney immediately.
