Dear Sirs,
I recently had a Road Accident while I was driving in a car in Bangalore. The Car was badly hit by a lorry from behind and luclky no mishaps occured except the CAR was badly damaged from back.
I have filed a FIR at nearest Police Station while Police was forcing us to have a negotiation with the Lorry driver and owner.
We have also now taken NOC from neatest RTO and cleared the vehicle from the Police Station and send the car to authorised service station for repairs.
The Car is under Insurance and the police has registered a complaint of negligent driving but not giving the copy of FIR.
Pls advise us the further Course of action as most of the friends are saying that its is long Court Process and after spending long time and lots on Advocate fees, court may not give adequate compensation and may let go the Lorry driver by paying small penalty.
We have lodged a claim from Insurance Company but as the Car is more than 2 yrs old, they shall only give 50% of the total repairs.
Pls advise. Also please let me know where is the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal in Bangalore and what is the process in case we need to file our petition in MACT.
