My friend was involved in an accident 2 months back. He was travelling in his bike and collided head on with another scooter. In the accident the driver of the scooter died, while the pillion driver was injured. My friend too was injured and hospitalised for a week. As the accident happened at night, it was the police who took them to hospital. Both the vehicles are not insured. The person who was driving the scooter was found to be drunk(blood reports from hospital). On being asked, my friend informed the doctor that he too had consumed alcohol.This information was sent in report.But in the blood analysis alcohol content was not found as he had consumed it around 3 hours before the accident.
Will my friends admission of being under the influence of alcohol have value since blood reports show the opposite ?
The party of the person who expired has filed a case in court.
Is it possible to settle the case by paying compensation after the case has reached court ?
How long will the case continue if not settled ?
