Representing Public Entities In South Jersey And Statewide

The New Jersey Tort Claims Act (the TCA) limits the liability of public entities and governmental bodies for injuries caused to individuals on public property because of a dangerous condition of property or because of the negligent actions of public employees. In limited cases the state, a county, city, town, or other public entity may be sued and held responsible for damages. Public entities can mistakenly be viewed as deep pockets by plaintiffs and their lawyers. In the present budget-capped reality you must retain experienced, results-oriented, cost-conscious, and aggressive legal counsel to protect your rights.

The attorneys at Cockerill, Craig & Moore, LLC can help. We provide full-service representation to municipalities and other public entities, including towns, cities and county governments, and their boards and agencies. We handle claims involving:
