Compensation

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 20 April 2023 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Experts,

My car was recently involved in an accident where another car hit mine from behind and caused significant damage. I registered an FIR against the other person, and he was fined by the court. Can I now claim compensation from him under civil law for the damages caused to my car, as well as the time and mental stress I have endured? I have also been receiving anonymous phone calls from him that have caused me additional harassment. and what extent of the amount i can claim in civil court for the above circumstances?
