I've had a motor vehicle accident in a work vehicle. The accident was in our car park and I swiped the car door on the gate to the car park. I was informed that I could request my company organise quotes or go through insurance and pay $500.00 excess. I agreed to the excess.
Several days later I was informed that my excess was now $950.00 due to me having a license for less than 5 years.
I was informed that I could not seek my own quotes and only my company could decide where to get the car repaired.
My union rep has told me I am not liable to pay for any excess as driving the vehicle is a requirement of my job and because I was not grossly negligent. Is this true?
