Hi, The owner of the vehicle, regardless of who was driving it at the time of the accident, is liable to compensate the victim. The liability would shift to the insurance company if there was third-party insurance.

If the vehicle has valid insurance and a valid driver's license, the insurance company will take care of the liability as per the policy or Act.

Also, it is important to determine whether the employee was on official work while driving or was driving for personal reasons.

Hi, not sure what you are referring to regarding statutory compliance.
Employer's Responsibility for Office Vehicles
It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that when an office vehicle is provided to an employee, he/she holds a valid driving license (such as LMV and MCWG). Also, if the vehicle is given to the office driver, then the employer should have a copy of the driver's license (or even the original, as some employers tend to collect it).
