Company Liability in Workplace Accidents
I work in an IT company (Timing: 10:30 am to 7:30 pm). The company does not have a canteen. Our lunch timing is 2 pm to 2:45 pm (no snacks timing in the evening).
One day, I went outside the company building at around 5 pm for snacks. I went to a nearby public canteen, where I met with an accident.
Accident Details
I was standing on the footpath when a car came and hit me, resulting in a serious crush injury and requiring bed rest for 3 months (LWP). My office colleagues took me to a nearby private hospital, and an initial amount of 10k was deposited by the boss at that time.
The company is not following any PF or ESI policies. I want to know: What is the company's liability in such a case?
