Making a Claim against the City of Fresno
So, how can you sue the city of Fresno for a personal injury accident? The first step in taking legal action against the city of Fresno is filing a claim directly with the city office or agency involved in the incident. The city office or agency will have 45 days to respond to your claim. Given that the city office/agency responds to the claim and denies it, you will have 6 months to file your claim in court. If the city office or agency fails to respond to your claim entirely, you will have 2 years to file your claim in court.
Without a doubt, government claims are subject to very strict deadlines. In addition, government claims also tend to be more complicated than regular injury claims, so it is important that victims and their families interested in taking legal action find a lawyer to represent them and guide them every step of the way.
