Generally, yes. Most municipalities are insuredas well, however, there are a number of steps that must be taken to sue a municipality or state agency. You should consult with an attorney.

Yes. But consult with an attorney because suits against a municipality require a specialized step call presentment which must be made in the same fiscal year as the alleged negligence.
