I need to file a claim against the City of Los Angeles. Please navigate to the section for filing a claim on the City Clerk's website. Once there, provide the direct URL to the online claim form, list the essential information required for the 'Claimant' section, and explain how the claim form is typically submitted, including any critical deadlines.
Navigate to 'clerk.lacity.gov'. Locate and navigate to the 'File a Claim' or 'Claims' section of the website. Identify and extract the direct URL to the online claim form. On the claim form, identify and list the required fields specifically within the 'Claimant' section (e.g., Name, Birth Date, Email, Sex, Home Address, Contact Numbers). Based on the information on the claim form page, determine and explain the typical method of submitting the claim (e.g., online, mail, in-person). Identify and state any critical deadlines for filing a claim mentioned on the page.
The agent successfully navigates from 'clerk.lacity.gov' to the 'File a Claim' or 'Claims' section. The direct URL to the claim form is provided as 'https://claims.lacity.org/Home/BasicClaim'. The agent lists the following essential information required for the 'Claimant' section: Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix, Birth Date of Claimant, Email Address, Sex (Male/Female), Home Address (Address, City, State, Zip Code), Home Telephone Number, Business Address (Address, City, State, Zip Code), Business Telephone Number, and the address to which notices should be sent. The agent correctly infers and states that the claim form, due to the 'mandatory signature' requirement and absence of an online submission button, is likely submitted by printing, physically signing, and then mailing or delivering in-person. The agent states the critical deadline: 'CLAIMS FOR DEATH, INJURY TO PERSON OR TO PERSONAL PROPERTY MUST BE FILED NOT LATER THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER THE OCCURRENCE. (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 911.2)'.
