Mannington adopts Tort Claims Act questionnaire, names Qual‑Lynx as claims agent
Summary
The Committee adopted a standard New Jersey Tort Claims Act questionnaire required for filing notices of claim and designated Qual‑Lynx as the township's agent to distribute and receive completed questionnaires, citing N.J.S.A. 59:8-6.
The Mannington Township Committee on June 7 adopted the township's official New Jersey Tort Claims Act Questionnaire and designated Qual‑Lynx, the Claims Administrator for the Gloucester‑Salem‑Cumberland Counties Municipal Joint Insurance Fund (TRICOJIF), as the agent to provide and receive the completed forms.
The resolution cites N.J.S.A. 59:8-6 and makes completion of the adopted questionnaire a condition for filing notices of claim against the township under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. The form entered into the record includes instructions, definitions and a reminder that notices of claim must be filed within 90 days after the incident giving rise to the claim.
The questionnaire requires claimants to provide identifying information, a full description of the alleged incident, witnesses, documentary evidence and any applicable insurance information. The adopted resolution directs that two certified copies of the instrument be filed with the Director of the Division of Local Government Services as required by local procedure.
Committee members carried the motion adopting the form into the record; attachments containing the full questionnaire and instructions were included with the meeting materials.
