This procedure was developed to aid the University community in the event of an auto accident while driving a University vehicle or a rented or leased vehicle.  

This information should be placed in the glove compartment of all University-owned vehicles.

What to do when an auto claim occurs:

• Obtain a police report from the University of Louisville Police Department or if not on a UofL campus, the appropriate police agency.
• Report the accident through the Enterprise Risk and Insurance website via the Auto Accident Report form. For questions, contact Enterprise Risk at 502-852-4654 or rskmgmt@louisville.edu.
• Stay Calm. Do not argue with other individuals involved in the accident. Take a picture of the accident scene and damages to all vehicles and property involved. 
• If not on a UofL campus and someone is injured, call an ambulance. If on a UofL campus and someone is injured, relay that information to the University of Louisville Police (502-852-6111).
• Assist those injured but do not administer first aid unless you are qualified.
• Do not discuss what happened with anyone except the police.
• Do not admit responsibility for the accident, or sign a statement of any kind.
• Do not disclose insurance policy limits or coverage to anyone.
