Following an accident, employees should:

The Risk & Insurance Administration Consultant will notify the University's insurance carrier of the accident. Risk & Insurance Administration Consultant shall provide the University's insurance carrier with a copy of the police report, photos of the damage, and estimates for repairs. Our insurance company requires two estimates if the cost of the repairs is greater than $3000. Please be aware that all ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ vehicles have a $1,000 deductible.

Departments may incur initial costs for repair. Upon completion of the repairs and successful processing of the claim, the insurance company will issue a check, less any deductible amount, to the University. Once payment is received from the insurance company, affected departments may provide the Controller's Office with an account number so a budget transfer can be made to cover replacement and/or repair costs incurred by the department.
