§ 9. [Claims against city.]  


Latest version.
  • The city shall not be liable for unliquidated damages for personal or other injuries unless the person suffering the injury or sustaining the damage, or someone in his behalf, shall serve a notice in writing upon the city within 120 days after such injury shall have occurred. Such notice shall specify the location and the nature of the defect or other basis of the claim, the injury sustained and the names of witnesses to the accident which are known at that time by said claimant. The failure to so notify the city within the time and in the manner specified herein shall exonerate, excuse and exempt the city from any and all liability on account of such injury. Service of all notices of claims for unliquidated damages against the city shall be made on the mayor or the clerk.
