For damages to a ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± leased vehicle, operator should follow the instructions found in the Accident Kit provided in the vehicle.

Following an accident, employees should:

1. Remain as calm as possible
2. Protect the scene and vehicle from any further damage.
3. Provide assistance to any injured parties by calling 9-1-1. Notify the local police department. If you are on campus, contact ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± Police.
4. Obtain contact information from the other parties involved, including any witness information where applicable.
5. DO NOT discuss the facts of the accident with anyone other than a law enforcement agency or a representative of ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± or their insurance company.
6. As soon as possible, notify Robert Howerton, Office of Environmental Health and Safety or email at r.howerton@csuohio.edu.
7. Provide an estimate for repairs as soon as you can to the above.

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°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± 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.
