When a dangerous condition on public property causes an injury, the public entity often claims it had no notice. California law recognizes both actual and constructive notice. Actual notice means the entity knew about the condition. Constructive notice means the condition existed long enough that the entity should have discovered it.

Proving notice requires evidence. Prior complaints, inspection records, repair history, and the duration the defect existed can all shape the analysis. That evidence can disappear, which makes early investigation critical.

A city’s denial does not settle the issue. It begins the work of determining what the records show.

La mayoría de las personas cree que tiene dos años para presentar un reclamo por lesiones en California. En la mayoría de los casos, eso es correcto.

Pero cuando el responsable es una entidad pública, una ciudad, un condado, una agencia de transporte o un distrito escolar, la regla cambia. La ley de California generalmente exige presentar un reclamo gubernamental dentro de los seis meses del incidente.

Ese plazo empieza el día del incidente, no cuando usted decide actuar. Si se vence, el derecho a recuperar puede perderse antes de que el caso comience.

Muchas personas se enteran de esto demasiado tarde. Llame al (855) 79 AYUDA o visite el enlace en la biografía.

A rejection letter from a public entity does not always end the case. In many California claims, it marks the next procedural step and starts a shorter deadline to file a lawsuit.

That deadline can pass quickly, especially when someone assumes the rejection closes the matter.

If you received a rejection letter, speak with Ravan Law as soon as possible. Call (424) 465-2500 or visit the link in bio.

Another assumption that leads people to walk away from valid cases.

Adrenaline masks pain. Certain injuries, such as spinal, neurological, and soft tissue, can take hours or days to fully present. Not going to the emergency room immediately doesn’t eliminate a case.

What matters is that when you do seek treatment, you are honest, thorough, and consistent. Documentation from that point forward is what builds the record.

A woman was mauled by a loose pit bull on a San Francisco sidewalk last week, according to reports. A common question in cases like this: if a dog attacks you in public, is the owner still on the hook when it didn’t happen on their property?

In California, generally yes. Dog bites fall under strict liability, which means you don’t have to prove the owner was careless or that the dog had ever shown aggression before. Four things have to be true: the defendant owned the dog, the dog bit you while you were in a public place or lawfully on private property, you were harmed, and the bite was a substantial factor in that harm.

Ted walks through what each of those actually means.

After a crash involving a city bus, the first question is who bears responsibility.

The driver, transit agency, city, and county each play different roles, and the claim must identify the correct public entity. In Los Angeles, that process can vary depending on who operated the vehicle and which agency controlled the route.

Filing against the wrong entity can jeopardize the claim, even when the underlying facts are strong. California also imposes a much shorter deadline for many public entity claims.

Getting that analysis right from the start matters. Call (424) 465-2500 or visit the link in bio.

People often assume every government claim follows the same process, but each public entity sets its own filing requirements.

A claim against LA Metro follows a different path from a claim against the City of Los Angeles or the State of California. The correct form, filing office, and responsible agency all matter.

That responsibility is not always obvious. A roadway within city limits may fall under state control, and a transit agency may operate the bus while another entity controls the stop. Filing with the wrong entity can jeopardize the claim while the deadline continues to run.

Pain and suffering reflect how an injury changes daily life.

California law recognizes these damages, and insurance companies often challenge them because no fixed formula determines their value. Medical bills may show the cost of treatment, but they cannot capture ongoing pain, emotional distress, disrupted sleep, or the loss of activities that once shaped a person’s routine.

Consistent treatment, supporting records, and clear testimony help prove that impact. In many serious injury cases, these damages account for a substantial part of the claim’s value.
