Accident in personal vehicle during home time what next?

Doesn't sound like a big deal to me, I would just report it.

If it didn't need to be reported and doesn't affect the company, then why would they care?

If the company does care and you do get fired, then they were going to find out anyway.

That's my opinion.

By the way, you were lucky. I had a similar accident years ago. I got cited for failure to maintain control, AND my vehicle was totalled. I had to report that, and it did not affect my job. Of course I was working for Lazer Spot at that time.... pretty sure you can drive drunk and high and run over a playground full of children while your vehicle is on fire, and still have a job there. LOL

 

Here in Arkansas it would be at least 10. And, most would be holding shovels even if the job was weed eating around the stop sign.

 

And they would shut the lane down two miles in each direction.

 

4 Years ago, I hit and broke a power pole holding 2 wires, supplying a barn on adjacent property with a 30’ disc. Entergy Ms sent out 3 line trucks, two pickups and 9 people. The itemized bill to the farmer’s insurance was just south of 6K for the 50 minit repair. Even charged overtime for their lunch period account of being away from their “base of daily operation” at noon.

 

Simple rule of thumb.

Don’t volunteer information and don’t lie about it when asked.

company policy = when on company time. That’s how I look at it.

 

CFR 49 Part 391.47 requires one to report conviction of violations.

A previous section requires one to report notification of License suspension by the next business day.

I can' find anything requiring to report personal vehicle minor MVA without a citation.

Remember "Don't pet the sweaty stuff and don't sweat petty stuff".

 

Since the accident occurred nearly a year ago, it's worth noting that if it was going to trigger an internal safety audit, it would have happened within the first 30 days of your Monday report. When I was looking into a complex liability issue involving a doctor's error, I consulted Gladstein Law Firm, which are the best medical malpractice lawyers in Louisville.
Their background in defense work is useful because they understand exactly how insurance companies share data with third-party reporting agencies like DAC or HireRight. If your MVR still shows zero points, then the incident likely remained a private insurance matter between you and your personal carrier.
