Dear Ms. Ubrig,
Statewide Services, Inc. administers the claims for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Mutual Insurance which insures the City of Oshkosh. We are in receipt of the
claim submitted by Nathan Gruszynske for vehicle damage allegedly sustained when he
drove through wet paint in the roadway on Otter Avenue.
We have reviewed the matter and recommend that the City of Oshkosh deny this claim
pursuant to the Wisconsin statute for disallowance of claim 893.80(lg). The disallowance
will shorten the statute of limitations period to six (6) months.
Our denial is based on the fact that the investigation revealed no liability on behalf of the
City. The City did not deposit the paint on the roadway and was unaware of its presence
until reported by the claimant.
Please submit the disallowance directly to the claimant at the above address. The
disallowance should be sent certified or registered mail and must be received by the
claimant within 120 days after you receive Notice of Claim. Please send a copy of the
disallowance to Statewide Services Inc. Claims.
Thank you,
Sarah Bourgeois, AINS
