In the event that any insurance carrier or person or persons should fail to pay any bill or invoice within 30 days of the mailing or delivery of such notice of charges, the City, attorney or the third-party billing agency who mailed or delivered the bill or invoice may enforce the provisions of this chapter by turning over to a third-party collection agency or, if deemed appropriate, may be enforced by filing a civil action at law in a court of competent jurisdiction for the collection of any amounts due to the City, together with statutory interest, court costs, collection fees and associated reasonable attorneys' fees if permitted by law.
The City shall not be obligated to pursue collection efforts against any insurance company or person in the event that the City reasonably determines that collection efforts will not be successful or that the costs of collections will exceed the amount due hereunder.
