The Tort Claim Act is a law in virtually every state that gives specific grounds and procedures for bringing lawsuits against a state or municipality. Formerly, governments enjoyed a form of "sovereign immunity", meaning they could not be sued for damages like individuals can be sued. While most state have these laws, different states will have slight differences from others. Under these laws people may not sue states and cities unless it is allowed in these laws.
