All tort claims goes to 5th AF for final decision/settlement. -Military Claims Act (MCA) -SOFA Claims (Art 18, para. 5 and 6 under the SOFA) -G-Claims -Medical Cost Reimbursement (MCR) Claims

MCA Claims

What is it? - MCA allows military services to settle claims for death, personal injury, or property damage arising from the negligent or wrongful acts by members or employees of the armed forces acting within the scope of employment, and for losses sustained as a result of the noncombat activities of the military services. -Proper claimants in Japan: US military members, Federal civilian employees, US inhabitants (including mil dependents) - Statute of Limitations: Two years. -Majority of claims are traffic accidents References: DOD Instruction 5515.08; AFI 51-306 Ch. 2; 32 CFR part 842 subpart D (10 Jun 2019)

NEGLIGENCE RATIO

JAPAN

-Japan Insurance Companies uses a “negligence ratio” system to determine the percentage of fault for traffic accidents from each party involve. (YES very confusing) (ie. 40/60 negligence ratio, the party w/ insurance accepts 40% at fault of the accident. Insurance pays 40% of repair to yours and the other party’s vehicle and the other party pays 60% repair damages to your vehicle.) *Ratio DOES apply to pedestrians and pedicyle! BE CAREFUL! -10% may be MORE if the damage vehicle is expensive! -ONLY if the vehicle is at a complete legal STOP, at light, bus, traffic, or stop sign, will it potentially be 100% negligence to the party that caused the accident. -Negligence ratio is determined by the INSURANCE Companies. -Driver and Owner are responsible for compensation.

involved in Traffic Accident.

What to do if

1. Render assistance to any victims. 2. ALWAYS report the accident to MP. Mobile: 098-911-1911 3. Do NOT leave the scene until advised to do so by Law Enforcements. 4. Once safety measures are in place. Take color PHOTOS of the accident. 5. REPORT to and complete an Accident Report with your Insurance in person, w/in 72 hours, regardless of fault.

USFJ Instructions 51-15
