Legal experts in human resources HR Manager:

Hello! Recently, I have a retired technician working in the unit. I had a car accident on the way to work. According to the regulations, the unit agreed that he had done two months in his home and paid 80% monthly wages.

When he returned to the unit to leave work, he found the human resources department with the medical expenses bill of the accident, and demanded the unit to reimburse it according to the industrial injury.

Can he get a work-related injury? Does my unit not take part in industrial injury insurance for him? Must he pay for his work injury? (Chen Ning)

Hello, according to the situation of your company, we make the following answer:

First of all, the comrade who returned from your company was injured in a traffic accident on the way to work.

As to whether the cost of the accident should be reimbursed by the expensive unit, according to the eleventh interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the application of the law in the case of personal injury compensation, the employer shall bear the liability for compensation if he suffers personal injury in his employment activities.

If the third party outside the employment relationship causes personal injury to the employee, the compensation holder may request the third party to bear the liability for compensation or the employer to bear the liability for compensation.

After undertaking the liability of compensation, the employer can recover the claim from the third party. "

Therefore, if the comrade was injured in a traffic accident on his way to work, he should be deemed to have suffered third personal injuries in the employment work. The employer (unit) should bear civil liability for the personal injury suffered by the comrade in engaging in the employment activities.

However, many employers ignore the occurrence of such personnel.
