ST. PAUL, Minn. — By her own recollection, Megan Campbell was driving a supply van back from a city storage building when she hit a parked car, causing serious damage to it.

The damaged 2001 Nissan Pathfinder wasn’t just anybody’s vehicle. It was her own.

Now, Campbell has filed a claim against St. Paul seeking $1,600 to $1,900 for damage caused to her personal vehicle by a city worker — herself.

“Because I was working for the city and driving the city vehicle, I feel they are responsible for paying for the damage done to my car,” Campbell wrote in a “notice of claim” form received this week by the city clerk’s office.

Campbell, a 2014 college grad, has worked for the St. Paul Parks and Recreation Department since May.

“I think I can safely say this is a very unusual claim,” said City Clerk Shari Moore, who has received some 400 claims this year from residents, many from car damage caused by towing and potholes.
