Committee disallows vehicle-glass claim after insurance review
Summary
The committee moved and unanimously approved disallowance of a claim filed by Ariel Gorst for a broken windshield based on insurer recommendation and lack of identifying information.
The committee voted unanimously to disallow a claim filed by Ariel Gorst for a broken windshield after county counsel and the county’s insurance carrier recommended denial.
Corporation counsel Jamie explained to the committee that an investigation found no identifying information for an alleged vehicle, no police report, witnesses, or traffic surveillance supporting liability, and that the carrier recommended denial because immunities for snowplow operations likely applied.
A motion to issue the disallowance consistent with the insurance carrier’s recommendation was made by Supervisor Lemmer, seconded by Supervisor Hart, and carried unanimously.
The disallowance formally rejects the county’s liability claim and preserves the county’s and insurer’s position pending any further documentation the claimant may provide.
