Yes. If it's a company car and is insured through your employer, the employer's insurance company would pay out the claim. The accident would still show up on your record though.
Can your company be penalized for a pre existing condition you do not list on your application for group health insurance?
Presumably in this context it is your employer providing you with health insurance.It is not that your company would be penalized, it is that the insurance company would refuse to pay for treatment of the preexisting condition. They set rates according to the known health of their pool of insured people. But upon signing up for your company's insurance plan you failed to divulge a known condition, and signed the statement saying you were giving the insurance company an accurate statement of your health, so you lied to them (aka committed fraud). That generally voids your policy.Check the particular wording of your own insurance policy regarding preexisting conditions.
How important is having a witness to an accident affect a claim of workers compensation?
Having a witness will always assist in making a claim for workers compensation, but it is not essential. In the UK - if an accident at work occurs an entry should be made by your employer of the accident circumstances. If the accident was serious or required more than 3 days off work - the Health and Safety executive should be notified by your employer who should investigate the accident circumstances. Your lawyer can access these documents which will assist your claim. For more details on how to show your employer is at fault see the attached link.
