When an auto accident involves a work vehicle, liability – or who can be held responsible for the resulting damage – gets more complicated. An employer is often responsible for a work-related car accident when an employee was acting within the scope of their employment at the time of the crash. Also, even if the employee may not have been doing work, if they are driving a company vehicle and cause a wreck, the employer and/or its insurer may still be held liable for the damages caused. Instances where an employer can be held legally responsible for an employee’s car accident while driving a work vehicle include, driving while performing work duties like making deliveries or running work-related errands.
