The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF) is considered to be the “payer of last resort” as it provides compensation to people injured in automobile accidents when no automobile insurance exists to respond to the claim.
The major functions of MVACF are:
to provide statutory accident benefits directly to persons involved in an automobile accident, who have no recourse to automobile insurance;
to provide compensation for personal injury or property damage to victims involved in an automobile accident with an uninsured or unidentified driver or a stolen vehicle when no liability insurance exists; and
to recover from the owners and drivers of uninsured vehicles monies paid out on their behalf, where legally permissible.)
