Car Accidents Involving Company Vehicles

Obtaining access to a company vehicle is not only a privilege, but can be a burden as well. This is a fact if you sustain an automobile accident, and found to be at fault in the company vehicle. Having an understanding of who pays and the why the individual pays can be a challenge.

The insurance company will cover any vehicle damage if the automobile is insured. The liable party will pay if the result of the automobile accident are uncovered damages or injuries. On a company vehicle, the automobile insurance policy will most probably be in the name of the company.

However, in some cases, in terms of liability, if the employee is the liable party, then the employee can be required to pay back the company.

It really depends on how an employee used the company vehicle. It can also mean the employee pays for any vehicle damage caused by the collision.

In a discussion of accident fault and damage, which entails employers and employees, the majority of attorneys and judges consider employers to be mostly liable for the employees’ actions. However, the employee must act within the realm of employment.

If any behavior which leads to the automobile collision violated rules of the company, or merely reckless, the employee can be terminated. Employment is at-will in many states. At any time, an employee can be terminated or quit. On this situation, an employee, regardless of fault, should speak to a supervisor or manager to comprehend the position of the company fully in this matter.

Courts will need a comprehensive recount of details to determine liability, regardless of the kind of accident. It is imperative that a motorist adheres to the essential details of the incident even if the collision entails a company vehicle.

Among the leading causes of injuries are automobile accidents. Nearly 6 million automobile accidents are reported in the United States.

Among these, approximately 30,000 would be considered fatal. Nearly 2 million entailed other injuries. They leave behind damage that is quite severe.

Injuries from automobile accidents can vary from individual to individual, from vehicle crash to vehicle crash. There are several common ones. Naturally, more specific details for particular cases can be obtained from a physician.



Individuals most often operate a vehicle, or ride in a vehicle with family and friends. Severe automobile crashes typically leave serious emotional scars on individuals, who have suffered severe injuries, as well as individuals who were present to witness them.



Treatment and counseling for post traumatic stress disorder, and psychological injuries, which are similar, can be fairly common.



If you or any loved one sustained an injury in an automobile accident, immediately speak with an automobile injury attorney. The attorney can make an evaluation of your case, and assist you in understanding if money is owed to you to cover any expenses caused by vehicle injuries.



It is advisable to seek legal advice immediately, for you to start with a claim reviewed at no cost by an experienced Nashua attorney.
