My son, a 24-year-old without a job or assets, was driving a car when he accidentally hit a motorcycle on a highway. The motorcycle, carrying two people, suddenly crossed from a side road. They were injured, and unfortunately, the car had no insurance. My son has a driver’s license, but the motorcycle rider did not. We went to court with a lawyer, but the car owner, who was my son’s friend, didn’t appear. The car owner was the first respondent. If the court orders a large compensation amount, we won’t be able to pay. What will happen if we can’t pay the amount, and what legal action should we take?

If the court orders compensation you cannot afford, you could be imprisoned or have your assets seized. Since the car owner is the first respondent, they are primarily responsible. You should consult your lawyer immediately to explore options like negotiating a payment plan or seeking legal recourse against the car owner to recover the amount.
