Sir
I was in an accident with a tempo in Faridabad a couple of years ago with a commercial vehicle a tempo. It was not my fault as the tempo was driving recklessly. However the police believed their version as they had more visiable injuries than me.
The police lodged a FIR under sec 279 and 337.
The other party got hurt on their head and I was the one who took them to the hospital after the accident.
The other party received approx Rs 2 Lacs as insurance from my policy after the accident.
I think they also received insurance from their insurance policy as they too must have claimed so.
I now want to compromise this matter and end the case
The other party is asking for lot of money to settle.
I want to know that is it legal for a person to claim dual insurance what I mean is claim insurance for the same injury from my insurance company and also claim insurance for the same injury from their individual policy
If it is illegal then can I use this against the other party to force a settlement.
Also how can I find out if they claimed dual insurance.
Please guide as I am not getting right legal advice I feel
Regards
Yashi
