-The location must be within city limits on public streets maintained by the City of Omaha (not including any interstate within or surrounding Omaha)
-Original claim must have provided documentation of personal expense including repair bill and tow truck invoice (if applicable)
-If claimant has also been reimbursed by their insurance company, documentation must be provided and the city will pay the deductible, instead of total cost of repairs
