Santa Clarita City & Goverment Claims Attorney

Claims Against the Goverment & City / County

In California, people may sue government entities (state, county and local entities) for money damages resulting from injuries due to a dangerous condition of public property, the entities' violation of a person's civil rights, or even property damage.  But before suing a government entity, a timely claim must be filed in compliance with the strict procedural requirements of the California Tort Claim Act.

If you live or work in any city of the Santa Clarita Valley, including Valencia, Santa Clarita, Newhall, Canyon County, Saugus, or surrounding areas, and you have been injured as a result of unsafe conditions or had your civil rights violated on a public property, you may wish to speak to a Santa Clarita government claims attorney at our firm. Our attorneys can determine what specific legal actions may be called for in regards to your unique circumstances.

We will aggressively fight for your rights and interests every step of the way throughout the legal process.

Filing Claims against the Government

The California Tort Claim Act sets out the procedures for filing a claim against the government for money damages in connection with an injury. No lawsuit for monetary damages can be brought against the government unless a claim has been properly filed within six months.  Even if you have been injured and you don't wish to sue, you might still wish to file a claim to protect your rights and keep your options open.
