Fleet Operator Tips

Fleet liability in Hong Kong — Transport Department, Insurance Authority and the Employees' Compensation Ordinance after a serious accident

A logistics operator with a yard in Kwai Chung runs sixteen vans and rigid trucks serving cross-harbour distribution and rotating shifts to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge corridor for cross-border goods. A serious accident occurs on Tuen Mun Road during a heavy-rainfall morning, with one driver injured and a third-party vehicle damaged. Within ten days, four files open: the Hong Kong Police Force traffic investigation, the Transport Department review of vehicle compliance and operator licensing, the Insurance Authority track if a claim refusal is contested, and the Employees' Compensation file under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (Cap. 282) administered by the Labour Department.
