Failure to completely execute this form or to supply the requested material within

The claim may be filled by a duly authorized agent or other legal representative, provided 

evidence satisfactory to the Government is submitted with the claim establishing express 

authority to act for the claimant. A claim presented by an agent or legal representative 

must be presented in the name of the claimant. If the claim is signed by the agent or 

legal representative, it must show the title or legal capacity of the person signing and be 

accompanied by evidence of his/her authority to present a claim on behalf of the claimant 

as agent, executor, administrator, parent, guardian or other representative. 

If claimant intends to file for both personal injury and property damage, the amount for 

each must be shown in item number 12 of this form. 

The amount claimed should be substantiated by competent evidence as follows:

(a) In support of the claim for personal injury or death, the claimant should submit a

written report by the attending physician, showing the nature and extent of the injury, the 

nature and extent of treatment, the degree of permanent disability, if any, the prognosis, 

and the period of hospitalization, or incapacitation, attaching itemized bills for medical, 

hospital, or burial expenses actually incurred. 

(b) In support of claims for damage to property, which has been or can be economically

repaired, the claimant should submit at least two itemized signed statements or estimates 

by reliable, disinterested concerns, or, if payment has been made, the itemized signed 

receipts evidencing payment. 

(c) In support of claims for damage to property which is not economically repairable, or if

the property is lost or destroyed, the claimant should submit statements as to the original 

cost of the property, the date of purchase, and the value of the property, both before and 

after the accident. Such statements should be by disinterested competent persons, 

preferably reputable dealers or officials familiar with the type of property damaged, or by 

two or more competitive bidders, and should be certified as being just and correct. 

(d) Failure to specify a sum certain will render your claim invalid and may result in 

forfeiture of your rights.
