File a police report. Take the tax deduction. If the items were stolen out of the car maybe insurance will pay, hint hint, depends what the police report says.

What State?

In CA, you could file a workers' compensation claim since you were traveling to an appointment for work. However, if you stopped at a liqour store for a pack of smokes, then you deviated from your employment and you would not qualify.

NEED MORE INFO??????

Why would they be liable? Were they negligent in any way?

If not, why would you even think of suing them? How about the person that robbed you!!!

I hate to thread jack, but this got me thinking.

If an employee is using a personal vehicle for transportation
from job to job, what insurance covers an accident, company or
personal. Also, should the employee notify his/her insurance
company of these trips?

At least you didnt knock up your financially irreponsible girlfriend and your Home Owner Association isnt screwing you over. Consider yourself lucky.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

Most places compensate with milage payments, i would figure this is covered under that.

Lappie said:Also, should the employee notify his/her insurance company of these trips?If you are using your car for business purposes, you should notify your insurance company. There may be a minimum mileage before it makes a difference in your rate, since it is common for people to use their personal vehicles infrequently. If you use your vehicle regularly for business (other than commuting), you will probably pay a higher insurance premium.

if you're using your car for business... but you're not paying business rates... you may want to meditate on this for a moment.

I agree, but wouldnt the business insurance handle this situation? Workers Comp...etc. or would the employees insurance be
the sole provider.

should be. however it will turn into a fight with the business. op should be ready for that reaction.

The only thing the company you work for is liable for is for hiring someone with 3rd grade writing skills. I'm betting reading is a bit lower than that. I bet you weren't a product of Phillips Exeter Academy and didnt follow through to Amherst college.

Regarding a CCW:

Deadly force cannot be used to prevent a theft in some states. Imminent SERIOUS bodily injury or death are justifiable uses of deadly force.

Additionally, some states allow open carry of firearms on the passenger seat when in a vehicle.

A locked door is a much better remedy, along with your right foot on the gas.

OP: sorry for your loss and unfortunate experience.

The devil is in the details. "He carjacked me, officer." vs. "He carjacked me, officer. And, I thought he was going to kill me." Better yet, "He carjacked me, officer. And, I'm pretty sure he said 'I'm going to kill you.'"
