What is the political subdivision Tort Claims Act and should I care?

The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently.

If you don’t, then your claim is forever barred. Read More
