Car accident

(Querist) 14 July 2015 This query is : Resolved 
I am the owner of a Mahindra Bolero Car. On 13/07/2015 my driver (paid employee) was driving the car with his friends. At 2:30 a.m. the car hits a roadside brick-pile and a lamp post.As a result one of the 6 passengers dies on the way to hospital. The driver is seriously injured and hospitalized. The car is totally damaged. The car was insured against accident and damage. The insurance cover was for owner and driver too. My query is-
1. Can I (the owner of the car) be accused in any criminal offense in this case?
2. What should I do if the family of the dead person claims any financial damage?
3. Is there any legal protection that I can take?

3)Anticipatory Bail if U apprehend arrest.

You should report accident to your insurance company, in writing.
Dr J C Vashista (Expert) 15 July 2015
There is no criminal case against the owner of the vehicle involved in accident. The court shall summon you for deposition in favour of prosecution.
Was the driver having valid driving licence at the time of accident? If so, the insurance company shall take care of the claim, otherwise, it is your responsibility.

This one seems to be imaginary query.

in other thread you intimated that you are primary teacher and now you are saying that you have a chauffer driven bolero car.

if that is true whether your deptt is aware about this car.
