YOU MUST FILE A TORT CLAIM AT UCLA MEDICAL CENTER RATHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

See below for recent lawsuits against UCLA.

YOU MUST FILE A TORT CLAIM AT UCLA MEDICAL CENTER RATHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

The University of California works hard to conceal the tort claim process.

You can't sue if you don't file a tort claim within 6 months, so the Regents try to prevent those who have been harmed from filing a tort claim.

At first I was duped by the following document published by the Regents of the University of California:

[Maura Larkins' warning: the following is deceptive, produced by the Regents to avoid tort claims.]

"The Office of The General Counsel of The Regents (“OGC”)... THE REGENTS IS NOT SUBJECT TO CLAIM-FILING PROVISIONS OF THE TORT CLAIMS ACT California Government Code section 905.6 exempts The Regents of the University of California from claim-filing provisions of the Tort Claims Act. A claimant who wishes to file suit against The Regents may serve OGC as specified in section 1 above."

But if you go to "section 1 above", you see an address in San Francisco. It's the wrong address for filing a tort claim. Clearly, the Regents want you to come to them for health care, but if they harm you, they don't want to repair the damage.

I did more research and deciphered the truth with much difficulty. You have to present a tort claim to the specific campus medical center that is involved.

Why is UCLA so afraid of tort claims?

Perhaps it has a lot to hide, as suggested by this story.
