Frequently Asked Questions
Injured victims, their legal heirs or dependents (if someone dies), and sometimes property owners can file for compensation. Lawyers help clarify who is eligible under relevant laws and guide all proper parties through the filing process.
First, you report the accident to the police by filing an FIR. Then you gather all evidence: medical records, bills, photos, and witness statements. After that, a claim petition is filed with the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, where the lawyer builds your case.
You can claim for medical expenses, loss of income, future treatment costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. If the accident caused death, dependents may also claim compensation for their loss of support.
In many cases, yes — negligence or fault of the other party strengthens your claim. But in certain situations (like some death cases), there may be “no-fault” liability, meaning compensation can be awarded even without proving negligence.
The timeline varies: simple cases may be settled faster, but complex ones involving serious injury, disputed liability, or big compensation demands can take several months or more. Your lawyer will guide you through the expected process and timelines.
