Closed commercial auto claims

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

I seek information about closed claims for commercial automobile liability policies for the calendar year 2015. Specifically, I am interested in the following information for each claim:

-Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or another persistent ID of insured
-Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or another persistent ID of claimant(s)
-License plate number/state
-Time/date of accident
-Location of accident
-Incurred loss value (property)
-Incurred loss value (bodily injury)
-Date claim closed (property)
-Date claim closed (bodily injury)
-Was legal suit filed?
-Was case settled or trial?
-Number of fatalities
-Number of injuries

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or clarifications about format, limitations or restrictions on what may be available and I will seek to modify this request.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Thomas Johnsberg
