Im a 25 year old female who was hit by a car from back due to utter negligence of driver. I suffered several injuries on my hands, legs and head but thankfully nothing very major. My vehicle, on the other hand, is totally salvaged. As advised by the relative of the criminal and my parents(who stay in hometown), i did not file a FIR at the day of incident against the old man who is the owner of the vehicle. After a week of my recovery, the old man refuse to help me with any kind of compensation, instead he is accusing me of all the mishap. Kindly advise how to go about this case and how to officially file a complaint against the hitter and get compensation of all the physical and mental damage i have been through. Currently, my mental state is affected due to the shock of the accident and the kind of expenses i have to bear due to damages on my body and vehicle, without me being at fault. Please advise asap.
