My wife was injured when a car ran over her foot a few days ago. Her finger is fractured, and the doctor has recommended a month and a half of rest. We reported it to the police, but they haven’t filed a case. The car owner initially agreed to pay for her treatment, but now he’s not answering his phone. What are our options now?

You can file a private complaint with the magistrate under Section 200 of the CrPC. You can also approach the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) to claim compensation for your wife’s injuries, medical expenses, and loss of income.

Four months ago, my car’s back door accidentally brushed against a motorbike, causing the rider to fall. I took him to the government hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries. I tried to compensate for the damage to his bike, but his relatives gathered and kept me waiting for hours without revealing their demands. Feeling unsafe, I left for my family’s well-being. Recently, the traffic police contacted me, asking me to visit the station with my vehicle. They registered a case under sections 279, 337, and 187, provided me with a copy of the complaint, and issued a bond for my vehicle’s release after I got it cleared from the RTO. My car was undamaged. The police informed me that I only need to pay a fine of ₹1500 in court when summoned. What happens next? Will the case be closed after paying the fine? I have third-party insurance. Can they add more charges or file additional complaints? Do I need to involve my insurance for this matter? Kindly advise.
