SCDMV Form FR-290. Uninsured Motorist Enforcement Fund

The SCDMV Form FR-290 is used to apply for reimbursement from the Uninsured Motorist Enforcement Fund. This fund provides compensation for damages caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists.

The form consists of several sections where the applicant needs to provide information about the accident, including the date, time, and location. The applicant also needs to provide details about their insurance coverage and any attempts made to collect damages from the responsible party.

It is important to accurately fill out all the required fields and attach any supporting documentation, such as accident reports and medical bills, to ensure a smooth processing of the claim. The applicant should also keep a copy of the completed form for their records.

An example of when this form might be used is if a driver was involved in a car accident and the other party did not have insurance. In this case, the driver can file a claim with the Uninsured Motorist Enforcement Fund to seek compensation for their damages.

A related form to consider is SCDMV Form FR-309, which is used to report a traffic collision. While both forms involve accidents, FR-290 specifically focuses on uninsured or underinsured motorists, whereas FR-309 is a general accident report form.
