§ 3.08.010. Notification requirements.

Every person who claims damages from the city shall cause to be presented to the mayor, within ninety days after an occurrence giving rise to the claim, a written notice stating the time, place and circumstances of the loss or injury. The time for giving notice does not include the time, not exceeding ninety days, during which the injured person is incapacitated from giving the notice by reason of injury. When the claim is one for wrongful death, the required notice may be presented by, or on behalf of, the personal representative of the deceased person or any person claiming benefits of the proceeds of the wrongful death action, within six months after the date of the occurrence of the injury which resulted in the death; but if the person for whose death the claim is made has presented a notice that would have been sufficient had he lived, an action for wrongful death may be brought without any additional notice. Failure to present a notice of claim in the manner required by this section shall be a bar to any suit or action.

(Ord. 1129-79 § 1, 1979; prior code § 1-8).
