Accident Victim Claims - Help Requested

Respected Lawyer sir,

I am from Bangalore and a victim of a Road Traffic Accident. This accident happened while travelling in a Bus from Indore (M.P) to Bhopal on Feb 04, 2010, as the bus had a head-on collision with truck. This accident happened hear Manglia, Indore. I sustained multiple injuries and I was treated in Indore and later in Bangalore. I have now recovered and still have deep scars and some wounds.

The police recorded my statement while I was treated in the hospital. However I don't have a copy of the FIR as I was all alone when the accident happened.

Pl. let me know if I can claim compensation as I am a victim of this accident.. Pl. advise me on the procedure to be followed in this matter,

Best Regards

You can file Motor Accident Claim Petition in the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal at Banglore. For that you need following documents:

Certified copy of First Information Report (FIR)
Panchnama of the place of accident
Medico-legal Certificate of your injuries
Copy of Driving Licence of the driver of bus
Copy of Driving Licence of driver of truck
Copy of R.C.Book of Bus & Truck
Insurence Policy of Bus & Truck
Address of Drivers of Bus & Truck
Address of Owners of Bus & Truck

You can request the police officer to provide the same. If police had already filled charge sheet against the drier of offending vehicle, in that case you can approach the court of Judicial Magistrate & can ask for the certified copies of the same.

After collection of said documents, you can file claim petition u/s 166 of M.V.Act & if you have any disability after the accident , in that case you can also file application u/s 140 of M.V.Act for Interim Compensation of Rs. 25,000 - 00

Kindly preserve all your original medical bills of treatment. You have to submit them in the tribunal during the trial.

You can take help of an advocate for claim petition
