California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Stevens v. City of Elk Grove, C080484 (Cal. App. 2017):
A cause of action accrues for purposes of the Government Claims Act at the same time a similar action against a nonpublic entity accrues for purposes of applying the relevant statutes of limitations. ( 901.) "As a general rule, the date of accrual is the date the plaintiff incurred injury as a result of the defendant's alleged wrongful act or omission." (Loehr v. Ventura County Community College Dist. (1983) 147 Cal.App.3d 1071, 1078.)
