Passenger compensation need advice?


What is the name of your state? Ohio

I had an accident a month ago where my car skid and hit the curb. I had no injury's but my two friends in the car got injured, fractures in right hands.
The cops came on site, gave me a ticket for 'failure to control' and the ambulance took my friends to the hospital. They are now on their way to recovery. The car was totalled, it was a company car and I did not own it. my company had given me to use it while i was on the ohio job assignment. The insurance on the car is with General electric insurance company. Since I was provided the car by the company and was covered under insurance, I am pretty positive that all car damages/totaled would be covered by the company. Could someone please confirm if this is true??
My main concern lies with compensation of my friends, since they would like to request for pain & suffering, lost wages. Is it possible that the insurance company comes after me for any compensation that they decide to give my friends?? I would like to know what are the consequences of this ?? does it shoot my insurance premium very high?? Can the insurance company try to recover money from me/sue me in this circumstances???? Please help me with my questions.

No, because we don't have the insurance policy in front of us.

Yes, no and maybe, again, we don't have the insurance policy in front of us.
