The City of Ogden is self-insured for liability coverage and uses the services of a third-party claims administrator (TPA) for claim received against the city. The TPA will assign your claim to an examiner who should contact you within 48 hours of their receipt. If the claims examiner determines the city is not liable, you will receive notification that your claim has been denied. Should the claims examiner determine that the city may be held liable, the examiner will work with you in an attempt to reach an equitable settlement. If a settlement is reached, you will be asked to sign a release to receive payment. If you and the claims examiner cannot reach an agreement, you have recourse through the courts.
