If you have an auto accident on company time, whether your employer is "responsible" depends on what arrangements have been made in advance and what you mean by "responsible."
- Were you driving a company vehicle?
- Were you engaged in company business or on an errand for your own benefit?
- Were you complying with company policy regarding distracted driving, hands-free cell phone use, etc?
- If you were driving your own vehicle on company business, was that a routine process and had you notified your insurance company of that practice?

Can your employer make you pay the insurance deductible if you have an accident in a company vehicle?
I don't know, but if the accident was your fault, why should he have to pay it? Might be better to pay it so you can keep your job (if the accident was your fault). Probably not, if you were on company business at the time. If you take a company truck home after work and you were at fault, that's a different situation. In either case, if you were at fault, he can write you up or possibly fire you. It might be easier just to pay the deductable.
