This query is : Resolved
My son aged 23 years was driving his car in the year 2000 (August) from Pondicherry to Bangalore. There were four occupants including him. He had a proper driving licence. The car was hit by a lorry coming in the opposite direction. In the accident, my son and his friend died on the spot near Thindivanam. His friend's parents filed a case immediately at Chennai and got compensation. However, I did not file the case. Can I file a case for Insurance claim now ?

But first consult lawyer whether claim is time barred or not. 18.25 years nearly 1/5 of century passed.
