PERSONAL INJURY
I RETAINED CASTILLO LAW FIRM TO HANDLE MY PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT WITH THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD. HE DID NOT FILE THE ACTION IN A RESPECTED TIME LIMIT AND THE CLAIM WAS DENIED BY THE CITY AS HE FILE ALMOST 1 YEAR LATER
Response from Javier CastilloJuly 16, 2019
Gilbert, we are truly sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused you. However, please note that your case is not lost, as the denial by the city of Bakersfield is a preliminary step. As I have mentioned to you before, your causes of action can still be filed with the Superior Court, as long as you do it prior to November 01, 2019. At the very least, I urge you to contact other counsel for legal advice immediately.
