1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTSON, Judge.

On May 3, 1985, appellant Deane Findley tripped and fell on the raised edge of a slab of sidewalk maintained by and within the corporate limits of Kansas City, Missouri (“the City”). She alleges serious injury as a result. On September 16, 1988, Findley sued the City for damages. The City moved to dismiss asserting that Findley had not complied with Section 82.210, RSMo 1986, which requires that a person so injured must give the mayor written notice of her claim within ninety days following her accident. The circuit court sustained the City’s motion to dismiss with prejudice.
