What if the government employee who caused the death was acting outside the scope of their employment?

Government immunity generally only protects the entity when its employee was acting within the scope of their employment. If a government employee acted outside the scope of their duties—for example, using a government vehicle for a personal errand—the government entity may not be shielded from liability. Additionally, the individual employee may be personally liable in some circumstances. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to determine all liable parties in every government wrongful death case.
