Class recorded October 23, 2024

Many people do not realize that before suing a California public entity—such as law enforcement, public transit, or a school district—you must first file a government tort claim directly to the public entity within six months of the event triggering liability. This is a mandatory requirement; failure to do so may fully foreclose on your ability to file a lawsuit. This class will cover the process and timing to meet requirements of the California Tort Claims Act. The Act’s statutes can be confusing, but navigating them is possible, and you can protect your right to sue with a few simple steps.
