Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Yes. Under Code of Civil Procedure section 473(b), a court may relieve a party from default judgment taken against him through his mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect. You're disability may constitute excusable neglect.

You must file a motion to be relieved from default judgment within a reasonable amount of time but in no case more than 6 months after the date of default. The motion must be accompanied by an answer or other responsive pleading.
