Calls by the Other Party

Refer all calls made by the other party, attorney, insurance company, or other representatives to the State Office of Risk and Insurance Management (ORIM Claims Unit) phone number at (800) 900-3634 or (916) 376-5302. DO NOT agree to provide any written or recorded statements.

Repair of Other Party's Vehicle

To expedite repair of the other driver's vehicle refer the person to the ORIM toll free number (800) 900-3634.

Property Damage Claims

If there is only property damage and the other party's vehicle is operable, you may suggest to the other driver to give you one or two repair estimates so you may submit the STD 270 as a package to ORIM. Only one estimate is needed for repairs of $500 or less.
