Overview

Providing Comprehensive Litigation Services

Kentucky law allows tort victims to sue public sector tortfeasors in certain circumstances. This exposes municipalities, county governments and other public sector entities to potentially significant risks, because in our state there is no cap on potential damages. Public sector entities need experienced and effective legal representation to meet these challenges.

McBrayer is a law firm that provides results-oriented representation for cities, county governments and other public sector entities in liability claims. Our attorneys understand the many complex immunity issues and how those immunities can be breached in cases involving negligence claims. Our goal in every case is to achieve a favorable resolution and to minimize the potential liability our clients must bear. In addition to defending public sector entities in tort liability cases, we also provide consulting services designed to help public sector clients avoid accident and tort claims.

We provide representation and services to public sector entities throughout Kentucky, including cities, counties, school districts, and quasi-governmental organizations such as transit, utility and airport authorities.

Our lawyers will work diligently to obtain an outcome that minimizes potential damages or avoids them altogether.

Consulting Services to Minimize Public Sector Risks

A considerable portion of our work in this field involves the provision of advice and services to minimize potential exposure to tort claims and enhance public sector accountability. We can provide advice concerning employment manuals and policies, record keeping and documentation, and other administrative matters. While these measures may not enable your organization to completely avoid a tort claim in every circumstance, they can put it in a much stronger position, should a lawsuit arise.
