CAN YOU SUE THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

You may sue, but you really want to get a review by an attorney before you invest a whole lot of time.

Generally the government has immunity, but those working in government may not, consult with an attorney about the specific facts of your situation and potential claim.

A 1983 action might be the way to go. Contact a civil rights attorney.

Yes, you can. However, you have to have a legal basis for the suit and you need to overcome some significant hurdles not the least of which is the immunity enjoyed by both state and federal governments--that immunity is extended to agents and employees of both.

You can sue the state government in a few different ways. Sue them in Federal Court on a 1983 action. If your state has a board of insurance and risk that insures state agencies then you may go after them. Also, not all states have it, but see if MO has a Court of Claims that allows people to sue State Agencies. There are sovereign immunity issues, but you can overcome them. See an attorney. Good luck.
