CLAIMS
Claims involving automobile accidents are administered jointly between the Office of Risk Management (for damage to Yale vehicles) and an outside Third Party Claims Administration company (for injury or damage caused to outside parties) with oversight provided by The Office of Risk Management.  Information on what to do if you are involved in an auto accident, can be found below under "Forms".

DEDUCTIBLES

Departments will be charged a deductible of $500 per accident if the Yale driver involved was not considered to be a regular driver, or is a regular driver who has taken and passed the Driver Safety Awareness Class. The deductible charged to the department will be doubled to $1,000 per accident if the Yale driver involved was a regular driver and has not passed the Driver Safety Awareness class.
