Description

The plaintiff, Margaret Saragusa, brought this action in the circuit court of Cook County against the defendant, City of Chicago, to recover damages for injuries suffered when she fell into a hole in a sidewalk. The case was tried without a jury, and resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $14,100. The defendant made an oral motion, apparently at the time the case came on for trial, to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to serve the city with a proper notice of her claim pursuant to section 8-102 of the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 85, par. 8-102). The circuit court denied this motion, but on appeal the Appellate Court for the First District reversed (18 Ill. App.3d 945). We allowed the plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal. The plaintiff's accident took place on April 20, 1970, at which time the plaintiff was 79 years old. She suffered a broken hip. Immediately after her fall she was taken to a hospital where surgery was performed to remove a portion of the femur and to replace it with a prosthetic device. She remained in the hospital until June 6.
