How to File a Claim

If you wish to file a claim, in accordance with the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-209, please file a Notice of Claim within six months after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.  The Notification of Claim form below provides the town with the necessary information. 

Notification of claims are to be submitted to the Town Attorney. Completing the online Notification of Claim form is the quickest way to submit your claim to the Town Attorney.  If wish to mail notice of a claim, you may send it to:

Town of Herndon, Attn: Town Attorney, 777 Lynn Street, Herndon, VA 20170

Claims Process

After your Notification of Claim has been received by the town, you will receive confirmation in writing.

The town refers most claims to its insurance carrier.  The carrier will refuse to pay if the law does not support the claim.  If the insurance carrier, or the town, denies your claim against the town, you have a right to assert your claim in court.  Claimants should contact their own attorney if they have questions about the denial of a claim.
