"Under certain specific circumstances, local governments enjoy sovereign immunity. This means that, ordinarily, you can't sue the government just because the roads are in poor condition."

"According to Section 8542 of this state law, if a government agency has received 'actual notice'—meaning the government is explicitly aware of a danger—and fails to act despite having sufficient time to take measures…"
"Then sovereign immunity is waived."
"The government must bear full liability for damages."
Leo put away the document, his gaze piercing.
