When a government entity is responsible for your injury, the process is different. Before you can file a lawsuit against a city, county, or state agency in California, you must first submit a government claim. In most cases, that window is six months from the date of injury. Not two years; Six months.
That clock runs from the date of the incident. It doesn’t pause while you recover or while you figure out who is responsible.
If a public entity may be involved in your case, identifying that early is one of the most important steps you can take. Call (424) 465-2500 or visit the link in bio.
