You will need to complete a Tort Claim and supply documents such as estimates, photos and receipts that demonstrate your claimed damages. The completed Tort Claim must be submitted to: Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Attn: Claims Division, P.O. Box 1147, 4080 Lemon St., Riverside, CA 92502-1147, Ph. (951) 955-1060. You must either mail the form to the P.O. Box via U.S. Mail or hand deliver it to the physical address. Fax or email is not accepted.
Receipt of your claim by the County is not a guarantee of payment. Your claim will be reviewed for a liability assessment, and for sufficiency of proof of damages.
Tort claims are not claims by County of Riverside employees for injuries/illnesses that occur in the course and scope of employment, or claims for loss of personal property by County employees. Claims involving an injury to an employee in the course and scope of their employment should be promptly reported to the Worker’s Compensation Division. Claims for reimbursement of lost or stolen personal property by County employees should be reported to the Safety Division.
