    Default Billing an Employee After an Accident in a Company Vehicle

    Back in the winter time, I Supposedly backed in to a truck, a co worker was helping back in and there was another guy from another company watching us the co worker backed me up and we went up to get parts, we came back down and the guy who used the truck was there it was another companys truck. Said I hit it, and went over and showed us and my Co worker said we didnt do that. the guy who was watching said we did be he was at least 20 Ft away dont know whether he had a clear angle or not. its was a jobsite with uneven terrain when i stopped the truck went down into like a gully. The one guy is saying I hit it, my coworker said I didnt. our Project manager came out to see what happened took the info down and everything. No cops were called or anything. Our PM talked to their PM, that was the last thing I heard about the situation. the Truck i was in was My company's vehicle, his truck was his companys vehicle for clarification. I got a letter in the mail today from my company with the bill of the body work done to it, wanting me to pay it and have it deducted from my check.

    Are they eve allowed to do this? should I contact a lawyer

    What did your co-worker say to your employer about the incident?

    For now, I would say dispute your liability to your employer and either (a) consult a lawyer in your state, or (b) at least tell us what state you are in so we can try to give you some guidance as to your state's laws.

    PA. I really dont know what he said, he was a Temp. Guy. But the final call on the incident was that it was his responsibility for not backing me up properly.
