Claims against government
Filing an injury claim: Transit agencies and express lanes
If you were hurt because of the Transit agencies and express lanes, for example by a public vehicle or a dangerous public road or property, California usually requires a written claim before any lawsuit, and injury claims must be presented within six months. This page lists the verified filing details from the official website.
