If you are using the car for company business - i.e. traveling in it while AT work (not going to and from work in the morning/night), then not only can they ask you for proof of insurance, the MUST ask you for this.

If you are driving the car when working for them and you then have an accident, they could be sued if you are not insured and further, the police could hold them criminallyliable.

If an employee is on his way to work and driving a company car and has an accident is the employer liable?

In most cases, the company's insurance carrier will pay for damages, as long as the fault causing the accident was not caused by the employee. The employee here is representing the company in this case - if the employee is charged with negligent driving and was cited for causing the accident, the company insurance carrier will most likely pay, but will seek restitution from the employee. Could get into a real sticky situation.

If you are driving your personal car on a business errand and your car is hit in the parking lot who is responsible for the damage you or the company?

Your insurance company may deny the claim due to business use, but they would be the primary coverage. Insurance stays with the car. But your employer should certainly offer to pay for this damage. I would file with my company and if there is coverage, maybe your employer would pay your deductible, if it is denied then file with your employer. If you would like to provide more details I could be of greater assistance.
