Other than paying for some vehicle damage because of potholes and shit what other city departments are put in the position where the city gets sued?

The other departments listed in the article with significant legal settlements/payouts during the time period other than police are:
Fire
Boston Public Schools
Public works
Public facilities Department
Transportation
Treasury
The only other department with a settlement/payout over $1 million during a single year is Boston Fire with a $3.31 million in 2020.

Negligence suits are also capped at $100K for the city but these police suits are not.
It’s still a huge sum of money. Just weird how it is framed.

I believe this would include suits for employment issues, such as harassment or civil rights violations, etc.
