Report An Accident

Accidents do happen. We wish it weren’t so but we realize it’s an unfortunate fact of life. However, there’s no reason they have to be a long drawn-out process. Whether it’s a minor dent or a major fender-bender, if we work together as a team, we can get you back on the road quickly.

Our first consideration is your safety and well-being. Our second consideration is to properly process the necessary paperwork to protect the University’s assets. To assist in addressing these concerns, and to help in preventing a re-occurrence, we have developed the following guidelines.

Accident Reports
  • If there are personal injuries to others, FILE IMMEDIATELY.
  • If the accident involved another vehicle, FILE BY THE END OF THE DAY.
  • If you incurred a personal injury, FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
  • ALL REPORTS MUST BE FILED WITHIN 2 WORKING DAYS.
  • The insurance cannot be processed until an accident report is filed.
  • If an accident report is delayed too long or not filed at all, your department cannot receive a reimbursement on the vehicle.
The Vehicle Loss Control Manager and/or Vehicle Loss Control Board will review all accidents, classify them as either preventable or non-preventable, and make concrete recommendations for departments to follow. Drivers who have multiple preventable crashes will be required to attend an additional driver training class and may lose their eligibility to drive a University vehicle.

The Employee Driver Program is administered by the Vehicle Loss Control Board, seven members representing these groups: Registered Drivers, Designated Responsible Authorities, University Police, University Services, Emergency Management, Environmental Health & Safety and Risk Management.
