employee (with expired licence) accident in company vehicle

by upset & confused
(Ont. Canada)

I was recently in a car accident with a company vehical. I lost control do to ice and hit a hydro pole. because i was the only vehical involved i was deemed at fault. Never being in an accident before I called my employer who contacted his insurance company and were advised to get the vehical towed, pick up a rental and get the vehical assessed by the them, they later looked into my licence and told them it had expired by eight days (which I didn't get charged for) so they would not cover anything. The question is who is liable for the vehical, hydro repairs, the tows, the compound rent and the rental vehical? My employers company or I???

Accident in Company Vehicle

Hi there,
If insurance won't cover it, then your employer will be liable. I suppose they could sue you. Most likely they will pay the costs and you will be out of a job. Sorry to say it.
