California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sandoval v. Cnty. of L. A., B262748 (Cal. App. 2016):

No suit for money may be brought against a governmental entity for personal injury, death, or damage to personal property or crops unless a formal claim has been presented to such entity and the claim has been rejected. ( 945.4;7 see Munoz v. State of California (1995) 33 Cal.App.4th 1767, 1776 (Munoz).)
