Worried About a Background Check? Seeking Advice After a Past Accident

Anurag Gole
I cleared all my rounds in a reputed MNC. They have a background check, and I am aware of it. However, in December 2016, I met with an accident in Goa. I stay in Pune and was on vacation when I hit a car traveling in the opposite direction, and three people were minorly injured. Even I was suffering from minor injuries. I am not aware if they filed a case against me, nor have I received any calls from the police or any letters from the court. Will that affect my employment? I am a bit scared of this issue and would like to get suggestions on this.

From the details given and the time frames involved, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Accident Involvement and Employment Concerns

Your narration is incomplete. Your car was involved in an accident with another car coming in the opposite direction, and including yourself, four people sustained minor injuries in the impact. Therefore, both cars could have side-swiped each other to avoid a head-on collision.

Any complaint was lodged with the police either by the driver of the other car or by yourself, and a copy of the CSR, if any, obtained? If not, haven't you filed any insurance claim at all or claimed damages as if the car scratched against some stationary object like a tree on the sideline requiring no police complaint? Even if a case is registered, it would be against a non-cognizable offense or bailable offense only. It cannot act as a bar to employment. Therefore, your fear is totally unfounded.

Where is the problem? You could have received a notice/warrant by now if a case had been registered in your name. Almost a year has passed since the date of the accident. For your self-satisfaction, check at the police station (address in DL) to see if anything is against you. Keep in mind, your inquiry in the matter could put you in trouble. It is better to stay calm and composed unless something tangible happens.
