A potential claimant has 180 days (approximately 6 months) to file a Notice of Claim form with the Risk Management Division. It is best to document all of the information you have while it is fresh in your mind. You may not be asked again about the incident until 6 months after it occurred and the details, if not the entire incident, may be forgotten.

The prompt reporting and preservation of evidence will also aid in the preparation and defense of a claim, as well as early resolution of a claim.
