If your claim should have been filed within six months, and you missed the deadline, you may request leave to present a late claim within one year of the date of incident by detailing your reason for filing beyond the deadline on the Government Claim Form or in a supplemental letter.
The Tort Claims Act generally requires the filing of an administrative claim for damages as a prerequisite to filing a civil action. Twelve classes of damage claims are exempted from the claim-presentation requirements under Government Code section 905.
Once you submit a claim, the government entity has 45 days to respond. (Government Code section 912.4(a).) If they do not take action within 45 days, the law considers the claim rejected. The entity must give written notice of its action or inaction on a claim.
Timeliness for Filing Claims Claims for death or injury to a person, damage to personal property or damage to growing crops must be filed within six (6) months after the incident occurred. All other claims must be filed within one (1) year after the incident occurred.

From this perspective, to make a claim in tort a claimant must show that they have (or had) a right, exercisable against the defendant, that has been infringed. However, the claimant's right is not a right exercisable against the defendant as it is not a property right (which is exercisable against the world).
Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).
Some common ones include: Property torts: You damage someone else's property. Liability torts: Your product or service hurts someone. Dignitary torts: Something you do or say harms a third party's reputation.
Four of them are personal: assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The other three are trespass to chattels, trespass to property, and conversion.
A tort is a civil wrong committed upon an individual or as typically termed in healthcare, medical malpractice which falls under the legal doctrine of negligence.
