A. All claims for damages or injuries against the city, provided for in Section 3.16.010, shall accurately state the time, place, source, nature and extent of the alleged damage or injuries, and give the actual residence of the claimant by street and number at the date of presenting such claim and for six months immediately prior to the time such claims for damages accrued and shall be verified by affidavit of the claimant, or such other person, as may be authorized by law to verify such claims to the effect that the same is true.

B. If the claimant is incapacitated from verifying and filing the claimant’s claim for damages within the time prescribed, or if the claimant is a minor, or in case the claim is for damages to real or personal property, and if the owner of such property is a nonresident of such city or is absent therefrom during the time within which a claim for damages to said property is required to be filed, then the claim may be verified and presented on behalf of the claimant by any relative or attorney or agency representing the injured person, or in case of damages to property, representing the owner thereof.
