Where do I find information about filing a government tort claim against a city or other government entity?

Filing an Injury Claim Against the City of San Francisco Information


Question:

Where do I find information about filing a government tort claim against a city or other government entity?

Answer: 

Many Public Transportation Agencies, Municipalities and other Boards and Commissions which operate buses, ferries, etc., maintain information about their claim filing procedures on their websites. For example, the San Francisco Municipal Railway claim form can be found at http://www.sfMuni.com/cms/mms/contact/formcomm.htm.

The procedures and requirements for the filing of government claims are set out in the California Government Code, which all of our attorneys who specialize in the field of Muni Railway injury accidents are familiar with. Filing an incomplete claim, or filing after the permitted time, or filing with the wrong agency can have serious negative consequences, and potentially prevent you from making a recovery. Claims against public entities are complex and require the assistance of a competent attorney.

If you have sustained a serious bus, ferry, or municipal railway injury you should contact or call the attorneys at Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger at 1.888.732.8897 or 415.981.7210, without delay.
