I don't know what CWCAC is. IF they are a governmental entity, then in order to preserve a claim you have to file a Notice of Claim and Claim with the Clerk of the governmental entity (village, town, city, county) or with the Attorney General's office if it is a state agency. You must also serve the individuals whose negligence you believe caused the harm. Generally you must file these documents within 120 days of the injury. If it is a private business, you can sue within three years for negligence three years from the event, or from the time that a prudent person would have discovered the negligence. While nothing keeps you from filing a claim on your own, retaining an experienced lawyer usually helps a great deal.
