  • ​​​​Note that payment in respect of property damage or bodily injury will require that the City be found legally liable for the damages that you have incurred.
  • Claims will be investigated without prejudice, based on the facts as they present themselves and under standard legal practices and principles.
  • In all cases of damage you should contact your insurance company or broker.
  • Your insurance policy may provide coverage for your damage and this may be the quickest way to recover costs and have the repairs done.
  • Your insurance company can then pursue any party they believe to be responsible for the damage.​​​

The City is committed to resolutions that are fair and reasonable. You can expect to be treated with respect and in a professional manner. ​​Although you may not always get the answer you desire, the City will provide the basis for its position and do its best to explain the rationale behind the decisions made regarding claims.​​
