My car was hit by a speeding motorcyclist who was making a U-turn. He fell and was badly hurt, so I rushed him to the hospital and paid for his treatment, which cost around ₹1.2 lakhs. Now his uncle is suing me for compensation. What could I have done differently? He wasn’t wearing a helmet.

Under Indian law, you were obligated to provide first aid and transport the injured motorcyclist to the hospital. You are not liable for his injuries as he was not wearing a helmet, which is a violation of traffic regulations. However, you could have called the police immediately to document the accident and the motorcyclist’s condition, which would have helped your case in court.
