You should file a First Information Report (FIR) with the police regarding the accident. Based on the FIR, you can approach a lawyer to file a civil claim against the truck driver and insurance company for compensation for your brother’s medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering.

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.

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.
