Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Venue for suing State of California
If I was injured in a county that does
not have an Attorney General's office
and I sue the State (CHP) for injury
where would the suit be filed? I also
live in another county that does not
have an Attorney General's office.

Re: Venue for suing State of California
Assuming you are doing everything else correctly (claim presented and denied, etc.) you can file in any county where the AG has an office -- not just LA, SF, or Sacramento but also places like Fresno where the AG has a tiny branch office.

Before getting to venue, have you complied with the governmental claim procdure within 180 days of the loss/injury? Has the claim been denied? Are you within six months of the denial?
