You are legally obligated to pay compensation for the accident as you were driving without valid insurance. You can negotiate with the injured party, but if you can’t reach an agreement, you may have to approach the court for mediation or a settlement. Failing to pay compensation could lead to legal action and potentially imprisonment.

Next Article Two brothers in India inherited land 30 years ago. Now, they’re dividing it, but the property records show an uneven split – one brother owns three-fourths while the other owns one-fourth.

Furthermore, since the brother with the smaller share has always been the one investing in equalizing the property, is there any way to adjust the future sharing of expenses, and if so, how?
