Master is always liable for servants act. During the employement if any act/incident happened, employer would be responsible for that.so company has to pay the compensation.

Yes. This is called vicarious liability

Insurance company and the owner of the vehicle is responsible for any motor accident claim. There will be no liability of the hiring company at all.
