My car was damaged in an accident with a DMC milk van. The other driver fell asleep at the wheel, and their insurance wants me to file a claim through their company. This seems to involve an FIR and court case. How long does this usually take in court? Will it be a really difficult process? My own insurance won’t cover everything, and I don’t want the negligent driver to get away with this.

The duration of a court case for a car accident can vary widely, but generally, it can take several months to a few years. While the process can be complex, your lawyer can guide you through the necessary steps, including filing an FIR and presenting evidence of the negligent driver’s fault. It is crucial to engage a lawyer to ensure your rights are protected and the responsible party is held accountable.
