New Governmental Tort Liability Act ("GTLA") Case

The Middle Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals issued its opinion in Petty v. City of Whitehouse, No. M2008-02453-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Sept. 1, 2009). The case offers an excellent explanation of the removal of a governmental entity's immunity for an injury caused by a dangerous or defective public improvement under Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-20-204, which is part of the Tennessee GTLA.

Here's a link to the opinion:
