I had a fender bender in Bangalore last month, and after a lot of back and forth, we agreed that I’d pay for the other car’s repairs (around Rs 30,000) and he’d reimburse me for the insurance claim (around Rs 23,000). His insurance claim was approved two weeks ago, but now he’s not paying me back. I have proof of the repairs I paid for. Can I take legal action to recover the money? Any advice on how to proceed?

Yes, you can take legal action to recover the Rs 23,000. Since you have proof of the repairs, you can file a civil suit for recovery of money in a small claims court in Bangalore. You can also try sending a legal notice demanding payment before filing a suit.

Last year, on September 7th, my mother was tragically killed in a bus accident. She was standing safely on the roadside, at least 3 feet away from the road, when a passenger bus hit her. It’s heartbreaking, and while time has passed, we have witnesses who are ready to testify in court. Sadly, the police are not cooperating, and they filed a report blaming my mother.

How can I use these witnesses to ensure justice for my mother? What steps can I take to strengthen our case against the driver?

My family received a court settlement in 1998 after an accident. The initial amount was low, so we appealed in the Karnataka High Court, which increased the settlement. This money was deposited as a fixed deposit in SBM Bank. Now, after I turned 18, I went to the bank to withdraw the funds, only to find that the increased amount awarded by the High Court isn’t in the deposit. The bank says it’s the court’s fault for not sending the additional money. They’ve only added the initial amount and its interest, leaving out the enhanced portion. What can I do now to get the full amount?

My sister’s husband was recently involved in a terrible accident while riding his bike. He was hit by a car, leaving him with serious injuries. He’s currently fighting for his life in a private hospital, slowly recovering. The car driver, unfortunately, ran away from the scene. A Member of Parliament, who witnessed the incident, thankfully rescued him. The accident made it to the news the next day, and an FIR was filed at the police station. The police summoned both parties for a settlement, but claimed the mistake was on my relative’s side and offered a paltry sum of ₹60,000 as compensation from the car owner. My brother-in-law has two young daughters, and his future is uncertain.
