If you are injured by someone who works as an employee with a city agency in California, or are making a claim against a government agency from a personal injury on city property, you need to file the proper paperwork to initiate your claim. You will first receive the agency Claim for Damages form, and fill it out. Then, you have to submit this form by certified mail, return receipt request to ensure proof of delivery to the appropriate agency, within 6 months of the date of your accident that incurred personal injuries.

Next you will get a letter from the agency advising that the claim was approved for payment of your expenses or denied.
