Vehicle Accidents while at Work

For any vehicle accidents involving a personal or divisional vehicle and occurring during the course of work, immediately notify your supervisor.   Report any injury as soon as practical to your supervisor, but no later than the end of your work shift. The office will refer you to your admin link/supervisor to let them know of your injury.  If they are not available, proceed to the office secretary for your instructions. Complete all the accident reporting paperwork prior to leaving the building and return it to your supervisor or the secretary.  The school secretary will enter the accident report online.

Notify MPI and report your vehicle accident.  If you are injured, you will also be required to initiate an injury claim through MPI.   It is strongly recommended that you open an injury claim at the time of the incident as some vehicle related injuries do not appear until several days or weeks after the incident has occurred and MPI will not always accept an injury claim after some time has passed. At the time of your accident MPI will also notify you whether or not a police report is required.   Ensure the MPI claim number, the injury claim number and police report number are included in the MSBA accident report.

If you were involved in a hit and run or were involved in a serious vehicle accident where the perpetrator left the scene you will aslo be required to file a police report. Ensure the police report number is included in the MSBA accident report.
