Road accident on bike while returning home from job


01-Oct-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I was returning home from my job at 10:30pm I met an accident near Madhuban chowk. A drunk pedestrian came on the road and while trying to save him,my bike got disbalanced and I collided to the divider. I got 5 stiches on my left eybrow and my bike is not in condition to work, completly broken. After the accident I was unconscious and police took me from there to the hospital nearby i.e Babasaheb Ambedkar hospital in Rohini. MLC was made by them. Now the issue is that when I return to my office after 14 days of that accident, they asked me to meet the HR. The HR told me that since the incedent is happened while returning home. So company is not liable for anything and they simply ignored all the documents of accident and all. Almost all of my SL(sick leaves) and CL (casual leaves) were consumed. Perhaps it was not a casual incident and I was not sick. This is wrong. They must look at the case. Is there anything that I can do ?

See you write a letter to the HR narrating the entire incident with copy of MLC and other documents and asked for the sick leave etc as per the company rules. Again at the same time you may check with your company is there any group insurance policy taken by company for the employee, whereby you are covered. Ultimately if they fail to act you have to approch court
