        364.14  PERSONAL INJURIES.         When action is brought against a city for personal injuries      alleged to have been caused by its negligence, the city may notify in      writing any person by whose negligence it claims the injury was      caused.  The notice shall state the pendency of the action, the name      of the plaintiff, the name and location of the court where the action      is pending, a brief statement of the alleged facts from which the      cause arose, that the city believes that the person notified is      liable to it for any judgment rendered against the city, and asking      the person to appear and defend.  A judgment obtained in the suit is      conclusive in any action by the city against any person so notified,      as to the existence of the defect or other cause of the injury or      damage, as to the liability of the city to the plaintiff in the first      named action, and as to the amount of the damage or injury.  A city      may maintain an action against the person notified to recover the      amount of the judgment together with all the expenses incurred by the      city in the suit.
