Note that payment in respect of property damage or bodily injury is contingent upon the Township being found legally liable.

We suggest that in all cases of damage you contact your insurance company or broker. Depending on the type of property damaged and the insurance policy you purchased, you may be eligible for greater compensation than you can legally recover from the Township or other party.
