Hi everyone, I’m starting a transport business and need some legal advice. How can I protect myself from any legal issues if my driver does something wrong? Is it possible to create a legal agreement that the driver can sign to safeguard me? If so, what kind of document should it be and what should it include? Thanks for your help!

In India, you can protect yourself through a comprehensive employment contract with your driver. This agreement should clearly define their responsibilities, include clauses on their liability for negligence or misconduct, and specify the company’s policies on vehicle use and safety. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to ensure the agreement is legally binding and covers all necessary aspects.
