Commentary:
Some people have it in their minds that commercial vehicle accidents, and accidents involving government vehicles are one in the same, when in reality, there is a world of difference in how these incidents are handled. In actuality, governmental agencies have conveniently installed a system of firewalls using the law that protect them from many types of civil liability. For instance, many local governments have extremely narrow windows of time where you can file a claim. This is why time is the most valuable asset in situations involving any government accident.
