How Do I File a Claim for Damage to My Vehicle?

Claims of unfortunate damages to a person’s vehicle arising from defects in the public way are governed by MGL c.84. Claims of this nature will be forwarded by the Town’s insurance agent to the Town’s insurance company. The following steps must be followed to qualify for submission:

Notification of a claim must be filed in writing, not by email or by telephone, directly to the Office of the Board of Selectmen, Town Clerk or Town Treasurer within thirty (30) days of the damage occurring.

This notification of a claim letter must contain the address of where the damage occurred and the date and time that the incident occurred.

The letter must also include the claimant’s name, address, and contact information; a copy of an invoice for the damage is helpful.

Please forward any correspondence of this nature received to Sabrina Chilcott in the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator’s office so the notification may be submitted promptly to the Towns insurance agent for consideration by the town's insuarance carrier.
