Government Claim Notice
Find the exact notice deadline and form to file when a state or city government entity caused your injury.
What this tool does
Find the exact notice deadline and form to file when a state or city government entity caused your injury.
The tool tells you exactly what to file, by when, with whom. Most government tort claims fail because of procedure errors at this step , not because of weak underlying facts.
How Government Claim Notice works
State Tort Claims Act database keyed by state and entity type. Citations to the controlling statute in each state.
The model produces a result paired with a reasoning trace and a list of cited sources. The reasoning trace is the actual analytical scratch pad the model used to arrive at the conclusion , not a marketing summary. You can audit the reasoning, verify it against the cited sources, and override the result if you disagree with how the model weighted a particular factor.
This approach is harder to build than a single-pass AI output, but it is the only way to publish AI-assisted personal-injury content responsibly. Personal-injury claims are a Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) topic under Google's quality framework. Outputs that cannot be audited or verified fail the EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standard and should not be relied on.
Inputs the tool expects
- State
- Government entity type (state, county, city, school district, transit authority)
- Date of injury
What the output looks like
Notice deadline (days from injury), required filing officer, statutory form requirements, contact address for the appropriate state Attorney General or municipal clerk.
Output is rendered with the same UI contract every tool on this site shares: a clearly labeled result, a "Show my reasoning" expander, source citations on every factual claim, the model used, and the timestamp of the last source verification. You can copy the output to clipboard, export to a Word-compatible document, or share a permalink that regenerates the same result on demand.
Sources cited by the tool
- State Tort Claims Acts (50 states + DC)
- State Attorney General office filing requirements
- Municipal clerk filing procedures
Sources are refreshed daily through a hash-compare verification pipeline. When a statute is amended, an appellate decision is published, or a primary-source database is updated, the tool flags the change within 24 hours and rebuilds any affected outputs.
Informational only. Not legal advice.
This tool helps you understand the framework of a personal-injury case. It does not provide legal advice. It does not create an attorney-client relationship. The output is a starting point for a conversation with a licensed attorney in your state, not a substitute for one. Cases turn on facts the tool does not see; an attorney can.
Why use Government Claim Notice instead of a search engine?
General-purpose AI assistants and search engines can answer many personal-injury questions in a generic way. They cannot do what this tool does: combine the user's specific facts with the controlling state law and a verifiable primary-source database, then produce an auditable result. The reasoning trace is the difference: with a general AI assistant, you get an answer; with Government Claim Notice, you get an answer plus a record of why.
For a $5,000 fender-bender case, that distinction may not matter much. For a $500,000 catastrophic-injury case, it matters enormously. The tools on this site are built for the second kind of case, not the first.

Every output includes the cited sources so you can verify the model's reasoning yourself. Personal-injury claims are a YMYL topic and require human judgment.
