RE: Our Claim #: WM000702660926
Date of Loss: 04/19/2018
Claimant: Brian Blaha, 5151 County Rd G

Dear Ms. Ubrig:

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
"Claim" documentation submitted by Mr. Blaha, in which he is claiming damage to his windshield which
he believes was caused from a large piece of ice that fell from the water tower.
My review of this claim has determined that the City of Oshkosh was not negligent or liable for this
incident as this incident would have been the result of a weather-related incident and/or natural causes.
Therefore, in the absence of negligence on the part of the City, we recommend that the City of Oshkosh
disallow this claim pursuant to the Wisconsin Statute for disallowance of claim 893.80(lg). The
disallowance of the claim in this manner will allow us to shorten the statute of limitations period to six
months.
Please send the disallowance, on your letterhead, directly to the claimant at the above listed address. This
should be sent certified or registered (restricted) mail and must be received by the claimant within 120
days after you received the claim. Please send me a copy of the Notice of Disallowance for my file.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ginger Kimpton
