How to deal with Accident case ?
Hello! I was involved in an accident last month, i was crossing a green light on my bike and suddenly two children on a bicycle came out of nowhere from the wrong side and my bike collided with them, one of them had a fracture in his leg, i took them to the hospital, provided them first aid and called their family. Now their family is asking money from me for the entire treatment and recovery process. What should i do legally?
Although you provided reasonable assistance immediately after the accident, you should document all interactions, medical treatments, and expenses incurred to protect yourself legally. Since you crossed on a green light and the children were on the wrong side, you may have a strong defense against full liability, but it's recommended to consult a lawyer who can evaluate the specific details of your case and provide precise legal guidance. Gather all evidence, including traffic light timing, witness statements, police reports, and medical records to support your position during potential negotiations or legal proceedings.
Ensure you have all relevant documentation regarding the accident, including, A copy of the FIR, Medical reports for the children involved and Any evidence that supports your account of the incident (e.g., photographs, witness statements). Check if your bike insurance covers liability for accidents involving third parties. If you have third-party liability coverage, your insurer may handle claims made against you. Engage a lawyer who specializes in personal injury or road traffic accident cases. If the family is demanding compensation, your lawyer can assist in negotiating a fair settlement. If direct negotiation does not resolve the issue, consider mediation as a way to reach an agreement without going to court.
Sir, you need to gather all the evidence related to accident which shows you were riding appropriately and no intention to harm anyone. We would suggest you to negotiate with the family to resolve this matter amicably. However, we would also suggest you to contact a lawyer in case they are forcefully demanding money by taking advantage of the unforeseen situation.
