Claim No: WM000702660664
Date/Loss: 08/07/2013
Dear Julie:
Statewide Services, Inc. administers the claims for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Mutual Insurance,which provides the insurance coverage for the City of Oshkosh. We are in
receipt of the above-stated claim, in which you allege you sustained damages as a result of our
insured's negligence.
Please be advised that we recommended that the City of Oshkosh disallow your claim.The basis
of the denial is that our investigation has found no negligence on the City of Oshkosh. Further,
the plumbing code states that when a new service is connected to a lateral,the existing lateral
must by checked by the plumber to ensure its functioning properly. Had this been done in this
instance,the abandoned lateral would have been discovered and the claim could have been
prevented.Therefore, Statewide Services will be unable to pay for your damages.
Sincerely,
Joel Meixelsperger
