So, in a move that hasn’t been heard of in this area, the City of Erlanger will now begin charging people for accidents in the City of Erlanger. Not to worry if you are a resident of Erlanger as you won’t have to pay, for now.

Billing insurance companies for auto accidents is not unheard of, however it is new to this area. Paying for the police, firefighters and EMS units that respond to those accidents can be a costly venture for any city, especially when responding to accidents involving people that don’t pay taxes for that particular city.

So, if you have an accident in the City of Erlanger, here is what you can expect to pay for the response of police and other units. When police in Erlanger respond to an accident in which an out-of-town driver is at fault, the city plans to start issuing a bill: $14 for the first 30 minutes that an officer is on the scene and an additional $7 for every 15 minutes thereafter. Use of a police car brings an additional $154 charge.

So, if you are a resident of Erlanger, don’t worry, your taxes pay for your accident. However, if you live outside of Erlanger, you may want to be a little more cautious with your driving.
