In India, you can seek compensation from the person who caused the accident (the driver), their insurer, or the owner of the vehicle involved. If the accident involves a government vehicle, you can seek compensation from the government.

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.

My father, who has a heavy vehicle driving license, was involved in an accident on July 15th. Sadly, a young boy lost his life. We applied for a license renewal on May 28th, paying all the necessary fees at the RTO office. However, we only received the renewed license on July 16th. Would this delay, which was entirely due to the RTO office, be a strong defense in court if we face legal action?

My brother-in-law, 35 years old, was tragically killed by a motorcycle rider in Chennai last month while walking near his home. He worked at Technico Industries, earning around ₹50,000 per month. He left behind his wife and two young sons, aged 2 and 6. I understand that his wife is planning to move to Delhi with me soon. What compensation can she claim from the rider and his insurance company? Can we initiate or transfer the claim case to Delhi? How long would it take to receive the compensation amount? Any guidance on navigating this difficult situation would be greatly appreciated.

What are the key steps in a court case like the one involving M.V. C… starting with summons and issues? If it’s a death case, how long does it generally take to receive compensation? Are there options for the court to directly deposit the amount into an account or create a fixed deposit for the beneficiary?

I was driving my bike when a cyclist suddenly came from the wrong side and crashed into me. Now he’s filed a case against me, even though I wasn’t at fault. The road was under construction, making it even more confusing. How can I resolve this situation?
