State Liability

Reparation for harm caused by the conduct of the State

We claim compensation for those who suffered harm they had no duty to bear.

We represent individuals and companies in claims for harm caused by public authorities (direct reparation actions and compensation for damage caused by the State), and we conduct the matter from pre-trial conciliation through to judgment.

Services

Direct reparation action

We claim the loss caused by the action, omission, or operations of the administration.

  • Failure of service (falla del servicio) and special damage (daño especial)
  • Harm caused by acts and omissions of the administration
  • Liability for public works and infrastructure
  • Exceptional risk and hazardous activities

Harm caused by decisions of the authorities

We handle harm that arises from the decision itself, whether administrative or judicial.

  • Harm arising from administrative acts
  • Judicial error and defective functioning of the administration of justice
  • Unjust deprivation of liberty
  • Constitutional protection action (tutela) against judicial decisions

We quantify the harm using accepted methodologies and satisfy the procedural prerequisite for filing the claim.
