Donald Perkins v. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and Does 1 to 50

Published: May 6, 2017 | Result Date: Mar. 30, 2017 | Filing Date: Jan. 1, 1900 |

Case number: BC641192 Demurrer –  Defense

Court

L.A. Superior Central


Attorneys

Plaintiff

Jacob Emrani
(Law Office of Jacob Emrani)


Defendant

Conrad R. Kohrs


Facts

Donald Perkins sued the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, in connection with injuries Perkins allegedly suffered in a motor vehicle collision that allegedly occurred on Nov. 4, 2015.

Contentions

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Defendant allegedly caused the collision and his resulting injuries.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Defendant demurred, challenging the sufficiency of plaintiff's allegations. Defendant contended that plaintiff failed to state a claim for relief and that the action was barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Plaintiff allegedly filed this claim beyond the time allotted to file after defendant's rejection of plaintiff's claim. Because plaintiff failed to file a timely claim, his complaint was therefore time-barred.

Result

The court sustained LACMTA's demurrer without leave to amend.
