Driver profile: Accidents tab (the driver's accident records)

Modified on Wed, 11 Nov at 7:30 AM

See every accident recorded for a driver in one list. This article covers the Accidents tab of the driver profile. Accidents are created and managed in Safety → Accidents; the tab is the driver's view of them.

Who can do this: users with access to Drivers and its Accidents tab. The tab only appears if your user has that access.

Before you begin

Important
An accident shows on this tab only when the driver is selected on the accident record and the accident date is inside the date range at the top right. Accidents are recorded in Safety → Accidents: see Accidents.

Open the tab

Open Drivers in the left menu, select the driver number and then select Accidents. The list shows the accidents with a date in the date range at the top right. It opens on the last three years; change it to look at a shorter or longer period.

Read the list

The table is wide, so scroll to the right to see every column. The first columns are:

ColumnWhat it shows
Claim statusThe status of the claim, for example Open
Date and TimeWhen the accident happened
Claim #, Claim #2, Claim #3The claim numbers. Select Claim # to open the accident record
At fault and PreventableThe decision for the accident
# of Truck and # of TrailerThe truck and trailer involved
DOT accidentWhether it was a DOT accident
AddressWhere it happened

Further to the right the list also has Damage columns for the truck, trailer and cargo, Injury, Fatal, Tow, Uploads, Citations, Under investigation, the street, city, state, zip code and country, the tests and training that followed, amounts (deductible, total loss, paid and received per policy, subrogation) and the injury details. Yes/No columns show an icon: a red cross means No.

Open an accident

Select the Claim #. The accident record opens in Safety → Accidents, where you can see and edit all details, add documents and track the claim. For how to record an accident and fill in its claim, see Accidents.

Add an accident

There is no + Add on this tab. Create the accident in Safety → Accidents and choose the driver. It then shows here.

Frequently asked questions

An accident is missing from the driver's profile.
Check the date range first: the list only shows accidents inside it. Then open the accident in Safety → Accidents and check that this driver is selected on it.
Can I change an accident here?
No. Open it with the Claim # link and edit it there.
Does the tab show accidents from before the driver joined us?
Only if they were entered on this driver in OpenRoad.
