Q: WHAT TYPE OF ATTORNEY IS NEEDED TO ASSIST WITH A CLAIM FOR LOSS, TO A COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
I SUBMITTED SOMEWHAT OF A ROUGH DRAFT TO THE LA COUNTY BOS WAS DENIED AND NOT SURE TO RESUBMIT CLAIM OR CONSIDER FURTHER LEGAL REMEDYS
A: I agree with my colleague that you'd want someone with government claims and administrative law experience. I'd add that since you mention a type of loss, and "Personal Injury" is one of your categories, it's possible that an attorney with experience with injury claims could be needed. Additional details about the nature of the loss claim would be helpful in offering more definitive guidance. Good luck

A:
When dealing with a claim for loss to a county board of supervisors, such as the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, you might want to consult with an attorney who has experience in government claims and administrative law. These attorneys are familiar with the processes and legal strategies necessary for effectively handling claims against government entities. They understand the specific procedures, deadlines, and requirements that must be met to pursue a claim successfully.
If your initial claim was denied, reviewing your options with a legal professional can provide insight into whether resubmission might be beneficial or if pursuing further legal remedies is advisable. An experienced lawyer can evaluate the reasons for the denial of your claim and advise on the best course of action, including the possibility of refining your claim or preparing for litigation if necessary.
Exploring legal remedies requires careful consideration of the specifics of your case and the governing laws. An attorney with experience in civil litigation or administrative appeals can guide you through the complexities of the legal system and help ensure that your rights are protected. They can also represent your interests in discussions or negotiations with the county board, aiming to achieve a resolution that addresses your loss.
