# A TODA PARTE INTERESADA O SU REPRESENTANTE LEGAL
Estimados señores:
Ocasionalmente esta Oficina descubre que después de haber circulado un riesgo (por lo general vehículos de motor), entre las agencias generales que operan en Puerto Rico, para determinar si el mismo está asegurado o no comunicamos a las partes interesadas que el riesgo en cuestión no está asegurado. Posteriormente la parte interesada o su representante legal nos escribe indicándonos el nombre de la compañía aseguradora o del agente general que ha emitido una póliza cubriendo el riesgo circulado. A veces se nos indica hasta el número de la póliza.
En la mayoría de los casos esta situación se debe a que los requirentes no ofrecen datos suficientes que permitan al agente general localizar el caso entre sus registros de pólizas. En otros casos la información que se ofrece es incorrecta, dando lugar a discrepancias entre los récords de los expedientes de los agentes generales y la información ofrecida por las partes interesadas.
Como es natural, esto echa a perder el propósito de la investigación y el espíritu del Artículo 2.300 del Código de Seguros con arreglo al cual nuestra oficina presta este servicio público.
Para evitar situaciones como las aquí apuntadas, en adelante esta Oficina no tramitará investigaciones para determinar si un riesgo está asegurado o no si no se ofrece la siguiente información mínima:
1. Nombre y dirección del dueño del vehículo a cuyo nombre pueda estar el seguro.
2. Fecha exacta del accidente.
3. Modelo, marca y año de fabricación del vehículo.
4. Tipo del vehículo, esto es, si un automóvil privado, o público, o un taxi, o un trailer, o una guagua, etc.
5. Número del motor.
6. Número de la tablilla.

Suplicamos también que si la parte interesada o su representante legal tienen conocimiento de que existe algún seguro, indique el nombre completo o su agente general en Puerto Rico. Esa información aligera el trámite, pues en un caso de esta naturaleza nuestra oficina se dirigiría únicamente al agente general concernido y no tendríamos que esperar hasta que todos los agentes generales en Puerto Rico contesten nuestra carta circular en donde se requiere información sobre el riesgo.
