Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois
Is the city negligent for not plowing snow
During our recent snow storm here in IL our city called off plows, I understand that. However, when they did plow they left the streets worse than a washboard. They had plenty of warm days to clean them up but didn't. Now my car is out of alignment and it feels as if something else is wrong, i.e. struts, wheel bearings. Is the city negligent for such damages? How do I get them to pay up?

Re: Is the city negligent for not plowing snow
Hello. Acts of nature such as a snow storm prevent lawsuits in certain situations. You
could file a lawsuit as a taxpayer, but in my
opinion the first move your city attorney would
make would be to dismiss the lawsuit because the
damage to your car resulted from an act of nature
and not as a result of negligence on the part of
the city. Think about this carefully. Consider
all of your options. Will be happy to answer any
additional questions you may have.
