Tradition of Winning Government Liability Cases

In 2017 alone, the City of Los Angeles paid out over $19 million in personal injury and property damage claims to lawyers, and unrepresented parties. State government defendants our consumer attorneys have successfully sued, include the police (excessive force claims), sexually depraved school teachers (negligent school districts), Child Protective Services (CPS) employees. I have also won defective traffic signal phasing auto accidents against the City of Los Angeles.

My team of talented, focused personal injury attorneys have brought successful money damages claims against these public entities and others under the California Tort Claims Act. Our aggressive injury lawyers have also brought cases under the federal rules in Southern California and throughout the state using these same standards.

I wrote this page with my best lawyers to help injury understand their legal rights, legal options and obligations like the time limits under the California Tort Claims Act and Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). I have successfully used both legislative enactments against California, including Los Angeles City and County and the federal government. I am an experienced attorney. I have properly filed hundreds of government claims for injuries and helped thousand of victims obtain recovery after government negligence.

So how does a person with injuries file a claim and sue Long Beach, Torrance, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, CA or another California based government entity for personal injury claims and other damages. What is the best way to obtain a full and fair financial recovery from a governmental entity after an accident?

First of all, if you seek to sue a government agency (like the State of California, the County of Los Angeles, or a city), you must:

• File a written personal injury claim, lodging your written claim documentation with the official government entity, at the designated agency’s office. Some authorized agencies require lodging plaintiff’s official claim papers with local City Clerks or another public servant at some specific physical location.

• Moreover, some cities will require parties seeking damages to use the agency’s specific claim forms or have their matter thrown out based on some absurd technicality.

• Complaining victims must look at the local rules, including online, municipal codes, spending time learning how to sue a government employee, or public entity for injuries received on government property, including personal property destruction or theft. Telephoning the agency in question may help you discover your rights and obligations, but with very limited exceptions, you can never ensure your claim will be proper with no legal representation.

• Even when you follow the Draconian rules of the governmental entity your claim will be denied within six months by their standard public agency “letter to sue.” (also called a “denial.”) Sometimes your damages claim won’t even be officially rejected by the public entity. But that does not absolve you from sleeping on your personal injury lawsuit rights to timely seek a fair recovery claim against these government entities. Sure, you have to file a financial recovery claim, but you can’t just sit on your hands after the government claim is filed.

Filing Summary: As a plaintiff, you must make sure it’s the right government claim form and filed with the correct government entity with government liability, all within six months, unless an exception applies under the California Government Code or federally, etc.! (In most cases, our experienced trial lawyers can handle the claim and settlement negotiation process on your behalf, depending on the circumstances.)

TIP: Statute of Limitations: The statute of limitations inhibits most suits against public servants unless your official claim form was filed within six months from your injury or loved one’s death date. After it’s submitted, accepted or rejected, you still won’t be afforded the standard two-years statute of limitations customarily granted for personal injuries claimed in California against the responsible party.

Litigation is almost always normal for most people when pursuing a negligent wrongdoing case against a bureau or other government agency.

But our attorneys are familiar with the local court structure and government agencies. And we stand ready to fight for your rights in such matters.

Tort Claims Act Specialist

Personal injury cases frequently involve a reckless or negligent party working for some out of municipal control agency, like bad cops or a scumbag government bureaucrat living off the taxpayer, Soviet Style. In these types of cases, the city, county, or state is sovereign, usually immune from lawsuits unless an exception applies.

But if your case involves civil rights or a related issue, you can still sue an agency beyond six months by using Title 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. And no one has our knowledge of the law and civil rights violations. Our superior attorneys will take steps to preserve your rights anytime a rogue agency or agent thinks they are above the law.

What Is A Government Tort Claim?

If California or LA’s agents were negligent, harming you or a loved one, these agencies and scofflaws under their employment would remain immune from suits unless your politicians passed a tort claims law allowing you to sue them. Otherwise, the state is sovereign, letting the government step all over you. And suing your servants is no task for novices.

Before you can file your lawsuit in your local Superior Court, you must gather evidence, identify liable parties, and do everything else right, including working within unforgiving time and claims service restrictions for your lawsuit. No matter what, the skilled attorneys at Ehline Law Firm can work through this myriad of public servant created roadblocks, fighting all along for your decisive victory against the deep state.
