What is the test for timely notification of a claim against a public entity?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Daneshmand v. City of San Juan Capistrano, 275 Cal.Rptr.3d 245, 60 Cal.App.5th 923 (Cal. App. 2021):

The bench trial centered on the timeliness of Plaintiffs' claims under Government Code section 911.2, which provides that a claim against a public entity must be presented "not later than one year after the accrual of the cause of action." A lawsuit against a public entity is barred if a timely notice was not presented. (Id. , 945.4; City of Stockton v. Superior Court (2007) 42 Cal.4th 730, 738, 68 Cal.Rptr.3d 295, 171 P.3d 20.).
