Two cases will be there. One will be a criminal case against your son and other will be MACT case in which insurance company will pay on your behalf. In criminal cases mostly it is settled between the parties

Dear Sir,
The best option available to you would be to approach the Complainant once again, and try reconciliation and request him to withdraw the Complaint. If a FIR has been filed, then approach the High Court for quashing on mutual settlement.
Otherwise, if the Complainant insists on pursuing the case against you, approach a good lawyer as per the local court and try your best.
I would strongly advise you to try and settle the matter amicably with the Complainant.

Dear sir, its a serious condition/time you are going through. The owner of the vehicle is liable under the provisions of vicarious liability clause. Insurer of the vehicle will not provide anything as driver was authorized for driving the vehicle.
MLC ? have been done in regard to the injury?
Is there any permanent dissability?
If no, than he will surely not get the amount which he is trying to exaggerate from you? as in this matter DAR will be filed from the police, which will only say that driver was minor, but he was holding own fathers vehicle, yes he was not authorized in view of the same so some penalty under 3/181 will be implicated. But surely needs a good MACT ( Motor accidental claim Tribunal) Lawyer. And its a simple injury dont need to fear about##
If lawrato shares my detail with you, i ll help you in all possible ways.

Hello, Not to worry about it and don't panic, your approach towards victim was absolutely correct, but incase if he wants to go to court and asking high compensation or demand will be not logical. Court will decide the amount and that whould not be a huge amount.
The prosecution has to be prove that the person who committed the accident was driving rashly and negligently and only then the offence is proved. However, if the vehicle is insured, insurance company will pay.
