Thus, where a plaintiff has “ ‘several legal remedies’ ” (Elkins, supra, 12 Cal.3d at p. 414 , quoting Myers, supra, 6 Cal.App.3d at p. 634 ), the plaintiff may rationally pursue the first action even if it does not afford the plaintiff all of the relief that she might be able to obtain in the second action. 11 *754 Similarly, Hopkins’s claim of equitable tolling cannot be defeated merely because she could have filed her tort claim within the ordinary limitation period.
