Government Claims Forms
Government Claims Forms
Pursuant to the California Government Code, beginning at Section 900, any individual seeking to file a claim for money or damages against the judicial branch must first file a written government claim.
While there is no established form for filing a government claim, Gov. Code Section 910 does list the items of information that must be included in the claim form.
