Needed legal guidance to seek compensation for the accident


17-Jul-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
While riding my bike on highway bridge at Vashi I met with an accident. A car was parked on the bridge on the slope downwards, while trying to avoid it, my bike skid & went under the rear end of the car. There was oil spill in that patch where I applied the brakes. I was injured badly in this accident, majorly developing a fracture in my heel bone. I was taken to a nearby hospital by a passerby & given first aid there. My bike was taken to Vashi Police station. The next day I was informed by a policeman from there that the other party had filed a complaint of rash driving against me.

To claim compensation you have to file a separate petition under Motor Vehicle Act in the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal.
Cases are to be filed according to the Police Station in which the FIR of the Accident was registered and the respective Courts under whose jurisdiction the Police Station lies.
