Cases

Plaintiff was injured when she fell on a street in Riverside County. She presented a timely claim to the wrong public entity but the trial court granted relief from the Government Tort Claims filing deadline with respect to the County. The Court of Appeal issued a peremptory writ reversing the trial court’s decision on the ground that there was no evidence to show why the claim was presented to the wrong entity in the first instance and, therefore, no ground for relief on the basis of mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect.
