The committee voted to disallow a claim filed by Michelle Laurel alleging injuries sustained while she was a patient in a city ambulance. Committee member Jake said the city’s insurer and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual Insurance recommended denial and moved to follow that advice; a second was recorded and the motion passed 3-0.
A committee member asked city staff for details about damage to the ambulance. A staff member said, “We’re still actually working through some of it…But, the majority of the damage was on the exterior, and then, there was some transmission damage as well,” and added that a total repair bill was not yet available. The committee completed the motion to disallow the claim after that exchange.
