Re: Un-Insured Damage to Company Vehicle, Do I Have to Pay for Damage
You didn't identify your state, so we can't direct you to the applicable laws from your state.
Quoting jk
It's real simple; you drove the vehicle. Your negligent acts caused damage. You are liable for such damage. Pay your father.
Some states (e.g., California) define damages caused by an employee's negligence (including car accident damage) as a cost of doing business that cannot be passed on to an employee.
