If you have sustained property damage as a result of a motor vehicle accident, you may make a claim to the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (the Fund), provided the owner and driver of the at-fault vehicle are identified. You may not make a claim to the Fund for damages to a motor vehicle, uninsured or otherwise. Claims for property damage are subject to a $100 deductible.
To make a claim for property damage, you must complete an Application. The application must be sent to the Fund with the following substantiating documentation:
- Police Officer Report
- Damage estimates and/or repair invoice
- Consent and Notification forms (property damage claims only). These forms need only be signed and returned if the Application is being made on behalf of a private individual
Any claim in which the amount recoverable from the Fund exceeds $3000.00 requires legal action. For information on how to proceed with such claims, read Suing an Uninsured or Unidentified Motorist.
For more information about making a claim for property damage and the Consent and Notification form, please contact:
