Employee Motorcycle Accident on Commute: What Are Our Compensation Responsibilities?

I need your guidance on the following. One of our company employees met with an accident while riding his motorcycle on the way to work. He has been hospitalized for three days now.

Liabilities and Compensation Inquiry

1) Are there any liabilities on the company in this case regarding compensation, etc.? Please advise.

Yes, Jagat Kumar is correct. If he is covered under the ESIC, then don't worry. But if not, ensure that he is covered under the Mediclaim & Personal Accident policy.

In case of not having the above policy, it shall lead to all liability falling on the company's head, and the company will have to bear all the costs incurred during his treatment.

If he is covered under ESI, he should apply for that. If he isn't covered, the compensation act will apply, meaning all expenses will have to be borne by you.

If the accident occurred on a public road, no liability for the company arises except for providing medical treatment as a courtesy to your employee.
