an employee(driver) and employer(passenger) were in a car accident. The employer pointed to something on the side of the road atrracting the employees attention. the employee looks over briefly, turns back. The cars in his lane are at a stand still, he hits the breaks, skids into the car in front of him, that car into the one in front of it. The car they were driving was a rental. The rental company refused to cover because driver was not on the rental agreement. Both employee's and employer's personal insurance refused to cover damages. Who is to blame for the accident and who should pay for the damages. Not according to the letter of the law, but who really caused the accident and who should pay, the employee or employer?

The employee is at fault for the accident, should pay rental company.
or
The employer did he know, the employee was not covered, was he directed by employer to drive the car, he was being paid. Did employee know that he was not covered, then the employer should pay its not the employees responsible to paid for insurance for company business. Unless he is contractor

The person driving the car is ultimately responsible for the accident.
