The Georgia liability insurance card for fiscal year 2012 can be downloaded from the Department of Administrative Services’ Risk Management website http://doas.ga.gov/StateLocal/Risk/DOCS_Risk/YellowCard.pdf. The insurance cards are valid through June 30, 2012.
The auto liability insurance card should be placed in each state vehicle and should be presented as insurance verification when asked by law enforcement personnel. Employees who use personal or rental vehicles while engaging in official state business also should keep a card in their vehicle in case of an accident. UGA is self-insured through DOAS Risk Management for liability insurance. Coverage does not apply when employees deviate from the official course and scope of duties.
Regardless of who is at fault, all accidents must be reported within 48 hours to the Claims Center. This requirement applies to all accidents involving state vehicles and all accidents involving state employees operating personal or rental vehicles while on official state business. The 24-hour toll free number to call is 1 (877) 656-7475.
