Can you sue the New York City Marshal's Office for a motor vehicle accident?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter if who hits you or for what reason (speeding police car) they are responsible for the repairs on your car if they were At Fault. Treat this matter as if it were any normal person that hit you. There is no need to sue. The Q didn't say why NYC Marshal's Office is involved. If the marshal was directing traffic and caused the accident, then the city may be liable for damages and injuries caused by his or her actions. If the marshal was driving a vehicle involved in a collision, then there are numerous other questions of liability; for instance were emergency lights and siren working; did the other driver fail to properly yield to an emergency vehicle; was it at an intersection or elsewhere; what kind of intersection and did the marshal stop before proceeding? If the marshal were running after a suspect and caused a collision by running into traffic, then there may be a justification and the marshal will not be found liable.
