Vehicle Liability Claims
Office of Risk and Insurance Management (ORIM) administers the State Motor Vehicle Self Insurance Account (SMVIA). This program provides automobile liability self-insurance coverage to state employees who drive any of the state's 43,000 owned or leased motor vehicles on state business. The program operates like an automobile insurance company. Should a state employee be involved in an accident, ORIM staff will perform an investigation to determine which party is at fault. If the state employee is at fault, ORIM staff will evaluate the claimants damages and negotiate a settlement with the claimant. If a claim becomes litigated, the state employee will be represented by the Office of the Attorney General or, if the employee is employed by the Department of Transportation (DOT), by the DOT Legal Division. In either case, the attorney's receive their direction from ORIM staff.
