Your employer's insurance should pick this up as you were within the scope of your employment. However, the employer's insurance carrier may try to go after your carrier for reimbursement for monies it pays out. usually, the injured party will sue your employer as being responsible for you (vicarious liability). The reason is because the employer has the deep pockets $$$. I suggest calling your insurance agent to determine whether a claim has been made on your personal policy.
