In India, you can seek compensation from the person who caused the accident (the driver), their insurer, or the owner of the vehicle involved. If the accident involves a government vehicle, you can seek compensation from the government.

My father was badly hurt and my mother sadly passed away after a truck hit our motorcycle from behind. The driver didn’t stop, so it’s a hit and run case. We’re trying to understand our options: 1. Besides the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT), what other compensation can we claim? 2. A lawyer says he can get us around ₹4 to 5 lakhs by suing the Delhi Government, but wants 25% of the final amount. What government scheme is he referring to? 3. Our motorcycle has comprehensive insurance, how do we claim it? 4. What’s the deadline for filing a case? Thank you for your help.

They filed a complaint against us for medical expenses. Our bike insurance and the other party’s insurance are both expired. The police have taken our bike into custody. The bike papers are with my dad. Is my dad, the bike owner, also liable in this case? How long will the police keep the bike?

My wife was hit by a car while crossing the road. The driver was reckless and didn’t have a license, even though the car was insured. I reported it to the police, who filed a case under Section 337 of the IPC. My wife’s leg was fractured, and I’ve already spent 1.5 lakh rupees on treatment. The driver is offering only 50,000 rupees, and the police are encouraging me to settle. They say the court will impose a small fine, and I might not even get the compensation. What should I do?
