Oh absolutely. And if it's Sunday morning and she's on the way to church, it's the preacher's fault too. Especially since she didn't have lights on her car and therefore had no way of seeing the other car.

No, since she wasn't on company time the company
is not liable. She is on her own here. I have not heard of a car that leans? Since the other car had no lights on
nor any emergency flashers going then the other
driver may be liable. That would be up to the courts to
decide. Your boss should check with a lawyer.

No I can't see where the company would be liable......she wasn't on company time. If she was in a company vehicle, then possibly, bu it's all depending on the laws of the state. In my opinion, if the other car had no lights......then she shouldn't be at fault.

Only if this was a company car she was driving and it wasnt properly maintained which lead to the crash, lights not working would very well be an employers fault but if it was driver error not the companies fault. If it was her personal car its her fault her problem.

If her lawyer is sharp enough, she
can probably file a case against
Donald Duck. Or maybe even Mickey
Mouse or Donald Trump.
In fact, if the accident caused her
morning coffee to spill into her lap,
she can probably hit MacDonalds'
up for a million bucks.

Commuting to work is not considered being at work, so the answer is no. If she had arrived at work, and was conducting company business while driving somewhere after arriving at work then the accident would be covered.

Generally no. Traveling to and from work is not in the course and scope of employment.
