The user fee shall be filed with the motor vehicle insurance carrier, representing an added-on cost of the claim for damages of the vehicles, property and/or injuries. In the event services are required relating to utilities causing safety problems to highway areas, and if the area is deemed unsafe by emergency responders, the same billing process shall apply to said utility, whose equipment related problems cause an emergency services response. The claim's costs shall be filed with the insurance carrier of the owner of a vehicle, property or other responsible party.
All amounts collected as a result of this article shall be allocated to the General Fund.
In the event that an insurance carrier refuses to pay or a driver does not have insurance, the Township will not seek reimbursement from the driver or any other individual involved in the MVA accident or incident.
