Johnson v. Los Angeles County MTA CA2/7
The statute of limitations for a personal injury cause of action against a public entity is six months or two years, depending on, among other things, whether the public entity gives proper notice of denial of the administrative claim preceding the lawsuit. The plaintiff in this case filed his personal injury action seven months after the public entity denied his administrative claim, but less than two years after the accident that he claimed caused his injury. Therefore, one of the issues in the case was whether the public entity’s notice of denial of the claim was proper; i.e., complied with the applicable statutory requirements for giving notice.
