Accident at factory gate while coming to office/factory

Yes, you can. It will be considered on job accident.

You are entitled to compensation of pay for  leave during your treatment, from the ESI as per their slab. This would be close your 2/3rd of earnings. The instant accident accident described by you is an accident arising in the court of employment and hence the Facotyr ought to have filed the report of accident with the ESI Authorities. You could file your claim with the ESI authorities, certified by the employer.

Dear Mr. Vasudevan,

I submitted the points you mentioned to our safety inspector but he says that accident occured outside the gate hence will not be considered as factory accident. I conveyed this to my HOD, he says we will discuss this matter with the inspector once you have fully recovered. But his voice and tone lacked conviction, looks like he is not interested. Kindly, suggest what else to look in terms of facts and figures under law.
