Hi

Thank you for your question and welcome to Just Answer. I will try to help with this.

Have you explored all avenues to ascertain who the driver was?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

Yes we have, but the team are adament they do not recall.

Expert:  Jomo1972 replied 1 year ago.

No, of course they will say that.

But you must keep corporate records.

If under cross examination in court you were asked if the driver of this vehicle had killed a child pedestrian would you be able to identify him then? What would your reply be to that?

Or if they had caused damage to the van?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

We as a company keep records of which team takes what van, as i`ve already stated we have no way of knowing who is driving at what time. My question is can the courts procecute the company when it was an individual who was responsible?
