How do I report an accident?

Which accidents should I report?
All of them-make no determination of fault-report them within 48 hrs.

Am I covered in my personal vehicle?
If you are doing your official duties at the time, you are covered under the Ga Tort Claims Act.

You may not be personally sued under the Ga Tort Claims Act.  State employees have immunity while performing their official duties.

Are we covered in rentals?
Yes, but only while doing the business of the state.

Does the state carry medical payments or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage?
No.  We provide Liability Coverage only.

If I’m in my personal vehicle and doing the state’s business, will you pay for the damage to my vehicle?
No.

Can subcontractors drive state vehicles?
We provide no coverage for subcontractors.

Who do I speak with about damage to State vehicles?

How do I rent a car and be sure that I have coverage?
If the point of rental is in state, use Enterprise.  Otherwise, use National.

Where can I get a copy of the Georgia Liability Insurance Identification Card (yellow card)? 
Yellow cards are distributed by your agency's insurance coordinator.  The PDF contains the same information as the yellow card.
