An employee was impaired while driving a company vehicle for personal use and got in an accident that caused injury.
Question Details:
The employee in question had a company car as part of his employment. He also had a CDL to drive our trucks. Company policy is strictly non-use of the vehicle if you have been drinking. Now he hit a motorcycle and the liability falls upon my company insurance because I insured the vehicle. What can I expect to happen from here since he will be charged with criminal vehicular injury and DUI.
