Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I worked as a driver for an ambulatory company in Virginia. My last week at work during my lunch break I backed into and lightpost and damaged my the bumper on the company vehicle by accident. Later that week I quit/fired on unfriendly terms with the company. At the time of the accident, I told the owner of the company that I would have a friend fix the bumper since I felt sorry for the damage I caused. Now that I have quit/fired the owner is trying to get me to pay for the damages. Am I liable for damage to a company vehicle that occurred during the normal course of business?

Any liability that you might have in the situation described would

arise (in my estimate) from your oral promise to the owner that you "would have a friend fix the bumper" and on which you now apparently have defaulted.
