[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I don't think you can ask her after the fact to contribute to the costs.  She was driving in the course of performing her employment duties, so by default, the responsibility is yours.  That's why you presumably added her to your auto insurance.

For the future, you could put something in her contract that says if she is found to be at fault, she will be responsible for some portion of the damages, even if driving on the job.  I wouldn't do it, though, as I think it would just invite disputes over whether she was really at fault, to what degree, etc.

Really, this is just part of the liability you assume by letting the nanny drive your car.  If it's too much for you or you think she is careless, consider not having her drive your kids.

Another MB here. Agree with this 100%.  [/quote]

+1 another MB. I might have her pay the deductible, but that's it. [/quote]

I also agree with this and am glad someone posted it more articulately than I could.[/quote]

+1. and for sure you cannot have her pay more than the deductible just because you do not want to file a claim. [/quote]
