Statewide Service Inc. administers the claims for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Mutual Insurance, of which the City of Oshkosh is insured. We are in receipt of the
above-stated subrogation claim.
We have recommended the City of Oshkosh deny this matter. Based on our investigation,
the city followed their policy when a stop sign is pulled out, stolen or damaged. They
installed a portable stop sign that meets DOT standards. A new pole and sign were
installed just four (4) days after the portable sign was placed.
Therefore, there is nothing that the City of Oshkosh did wrong and it is not legally liable
for the damages claimed by your insured driver.
Sincerely,
Lois Reynolds
