When an injured person sues the City, any settlement must be approved by the City Commission. This is typically called a “sovereign immunity” case (i.e., a case against a city, county or the State). Sovereign immunity cases are typically capped at $200,000 in damages (meaning that this is typically the most an injured person can obtain from the governmental entity).
In a sovereign immunity case, the injured person must also typically give the governmental entity six-months notice before bringing a lawsuit.

Your case will be strongest if the crime occurred in a high crime area because then it will be easy for Mr. Quackenbush to argue that the property owner should have provided proper security.
