GSA customer and driver
Immediately after an accident, check your glove compartment for the accident reporting kit and follow these steps:
- Stop safely and turn on hazard lights.
- Move the vehicle out of traffic, if it can be driven.
- Call emergency services if anyone is injured.
- Call local police and ask for a police report.
- Exchange information with other drivers:
- Name, phone, address
- Insurance details (company name, phone, policy number)
- Collect witness info, if available.
- Take photos of:
- Damage to vehicles/property
- Scene (road, debris, skid marks, etc.)
- Location (street sign, intersection, exit, etc.)
- Vehicle IDs (plates, insurance cards)
Do not admit fault or sign anything except to your supervisor or a federal investigator. You’ll need to provide the police report to the AMC.
Reporting the accident

Vehicle repairs
GSA pays to return GSA-leased vehicles to safe, working condition. GSA bills the leasing agency unless an identifiable third party is proven at fault. All repairs must be approved by the AMC:
- The AMC will refer you to an authorized repair shop.
- After repairs:
- A leasing agency representative must inspect and sign the final invoice.
- Repairs must meet standards: paint match, aligned panels, etc.
- If there are any concerns, notify AMC before signing the invoice.
If two GSA vehicles are involved, each agency pays for its own vehicle, regardless of fault. GSA does not discipline drivers. Your agency will determine any follow-up actions.
Public drivers
If you are a member of the public involved in an accident with a GSA-leased vehicle, you can file a claim against the government for any injury or property damage.
The Federal Tort Claims Act allows people to seek reimbursement when they are harmed by a federal employee’s wrongful or negligent actions while on the job.
How to File a Claim
To file a claim, you must submit Standard Form 95, a claim for damage, injury, or death () to the agency leasing the vehicle. If you don’t know which agency leased the vehicle, GSA can help you find out. You will also need the following information before contacting the AMC:
- The full license plate number, example: GXX-XXXXX
- Date, time, and location of the accident
- Details about any police response
- Vehicle Identification Number
- Vehicle make and model
- Photos from the accident showing the vehicle involved
How to Contact GSA for Help with your Claim
Call the AMC at 866-400-0411, option 2, or email amc@gsa.gov. If GSA can identify the vehicle, they will direct you to the right agency’s claims office.
Important Deadlines on Claims
- Submit your claim within two years of the accident.
- If the agency denies your claim within six months, you have six months to file a lawsuit in federal court.
- If the agency does not respond within six months, there is no deadline to file a lawsuit.
Vendor responsibility
Before starting repairs:
- Provide the AMC a detailed estimate showing parts and labor costs separately before any repairs begin.
- Submit photos of the damage before repairs:
- At least one photo showing the damaged area’s location on the vehicle, including the damaged panel(s) and an adjacent undamaged panel for context.
- Ideally, include at least two photos of each damaged area.
If additional damage is found:
- If you find extra or hidden damage after repairs start, submit a supplemental estimate with supporting photos for AMC review and approval.
- An AMC technician will guide you on how to update the repair order.
After repairs are completed:
- The agency representative who picks up the vehicle must sign the final invoice to confirm that repairs are complete and satisfactory.
