within two years from the date that the injury was received or the cause of

account of any injury to his or her person shall file in the office of the
secretary of the board and also in the office of the general attorney for
the authority either by himself or herself, his or her agent, or attorney,
a statement, in writing, signed by himself or herself, his or her agent, or
attorney, giving the name of the person to whom the cause of action has
accrued, the name and residence of the person injured, the date and about
the hour of the accident, the place or location where the accident occurred
and the name and address of the attending physician, if any. If the notice
provided for by this section is not filed as provided, any such civil
action commenced against the authority shall be dismissed and the person to
whom any such cause of action accrued for any personal injury shall be
forever barred from further suing.
