You should ensure that an FIR has been registered against that person. Refuse to settle the matter if the amount itself will not be of much help to you.

Let the courts proceed with the criminal case against him.

You may claim compensation separately before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal. If the vehicle was insured then the insurance company will be made liable to pay.
