Report Vehicle Accident Involving State Employees

If you were involved in a vehicle accident with a state vehicle, are an attorney, or an insurance carrier subrogating for your insured, please report the vehicle accident to the claims unit by sending documentation to claims@dgs.ca.gov.

The State of California has a six-month statute of limitation. If your claim is not resolved within six months from the date of loss, California law requires you to file a formal claim with the Government Claims Program (GCP) (Government Code 900, et seq.). To obtain a claim form and to learn more information about the GCP process, visit File a Government Claim.
