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.

I was involved in a serious car accident in Dubai back in 2003. My friend, who was driving, was intoxicated. Thankfully, my car insurance covered my initial hospital stay, but I’m still recovering from a brain injury. Now, the court has ordered my car insurance company to compensate me. Could I apply for permanent disability insurance in Dubai itself, given my ongoing medical needs?

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. A Member of Parliament, who witnessed the incident, thankfully rescued him. The accident made it to the news the next day, and an FIR was filed at the police station. 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.

I was driving my car carefully on a road with no divider. Suddenly, a biker speeding from the opposite direction swerved into my lane and crashed head-on into my vehicle. I stopped immediately, but he was going so fast that he and his bike ended up on top of my car before falling off far behind. I’m still shaken by the incident. Now, he’s filed a claim for INR 45 Lacs, accusing me of negligence. It feels unfair, as I was driving within my lane and at a safe speed. While I sympathize with his injuries, I’m hesitant to file a counter-complaint.

I had an accident back in 2012 and the lower court awarded me ₹5 lakhs in compensation. I appealed to the High Court with a different lawyer and they added another ₹80,000 to the compensation. The cheque is now with the lower court, but they’re asking me to bring my original lawyer to identify me before they release the cheque. Unfortunately, I can’t find that lawyer now. Is there any way I can get the cheque from the court?

Got into an accident with a drunk driver. Police caught the driver. They initially said they’d help with the car repairs, but now they’re refusing.
