Is it Possible to Sue a County or City?

Cities, towns, and counties are protected by what is called sovereign immunity, meaning as a general rule they cannot be sued for personal injury in New Jersey. But, there are some exceptions. Anyone with a personal injury claim or lawsuit against a city or town must provide notice within 90 days of the date of injury. Once you have submitted notice, the municipality has about 6 months to review the claim, in which you cannot file legal action until that period is over.
