THIS LAW M A Y HELP YOU

The Motor Vehicle Accident Fund
is administered by the State Com
pensation Department.
The Fund js maintained by the
payment of $1 biannually by each
applicant for a driver's license or
renewal.
There are only two such pro
grams in the United States. The
first to establish such a Fund was
the State of Ohio. The State of Ore
gon passed their law in 1941 and
it is similar to the law in effect in
Ohio.
The reason,this law was passed
was that many people who were
injured on the highways in pur
State of Oregon couldn't afford to
pay their medical expenses. This
was not only a hardship on the in
jured person who was trying to
pay his debt but also on the hos
pital and others who had rendered
their services and were entitled to
get paid. As a result this Motor
Vehicle Accident Fund Law was
passed.
Now when a hospital, for ex
ample, has sent a statement of ex
penses to patient it has treated as
a result of an injury on our high
ways and the injured doesn't have
money to pay for this expense, the
bill can be taken care of by this
Fund.
The hospital or one who has
given the service w ill send a claim
form to the injured and after this
is completed, it is sent to the State
Compensation Department. An in
vestigation w ill take place and if it
is found that the injured hasn't any
money to pay, his bill w ill then be
paid out of the Motor Vehicle Acci-

dent Fund.
.However, one thing should be
kept in mind. If it is found at a
later date that the injured person
is able to pay, the person then may
have to pay back the money to
the Accident Fund.
If you are injwted oh the high
way of the State of Oregon and
have no money to pay for your
medical expenses you may find
that this law may be of much help
to both you and the one giving
the medical aid.
