Insurance Claims
If you have incurred costs or damages for which you believe the Town may be responsible, follow the process outlined below to consider your claim. In some cases, you are required to place the Town on notice within 10 days of the accident.
According to the Municipal Act, we must receive notification in writing.
We suggest that in cases of damage, you contact your insurance company or broker. If the insurer believes the Town is responsible, they may seek compensation on your behalf, as stipulated in your insurance policy.
Filing a Claim |
|
Claim Process |
Your claim will be acknowledged upon receipt; if warranted, an investigation will commence. You may be contacted by staff or the Town's insurance adjuster for clarification or further information. All claims are subject to the same investigation process, and the timeline to carry out the investigations varies. |
Compensation |
We do not provide compensation for your costs unless you provide evidence that the Town committed a negligent act or omission, which resulted in the injury or damage. Like most Canadian municipalities, we only compensate when we are legally liable for the damage sustained. This approach reduces the costs for the taxpaying public, who ultimately bear the fee of these claims. This claims process does not mean the Town of Greater Napanee is accepting liability for your claim, nor does it waive any legal rights that the Town of Greater Napanee may rely on in matters such as these. |
