Met with a road accident my stationary car was hit by a bike.
19-Feb-2026 (In Motor Accident Law)
On 12.02.2026 at 09:00 AM, I stopped my car in the leftmost part of the road due to some emergency and within 30 seconds a bike from behind hit my stationary car causing damage to the rare bumper and the biker got head injury, I immediately taken him to the nearest hospital without waiting for ambulance. FIR is lodged against me and police is suggesting me to accept my fault so that the biker could be benefited from my third party insurance. Suggest what shall I do, as this was not my mistake.
If your car was properly stopped on the extreme left due to emergency and was stationary, prima facie it appears to be negligence of the biker for hitting from behind.
In motor accident cases, liability is decided based on negligence under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. A vehicle hitting from behind is generally presumed to be at fault unless proved otherwise.
You should:
Do NOT admit fault if you were not negligent.
Give a clear written statement to police explaining emergency stopping.
Collect evidence – photos, CCTV footage, witnesses.
Inform your insurance company immediately.
Even if FIR is filed, liability will be decided by the MACT Court, not by police suggestion.
You are not legally bound to accept blame just to help insurance processing. Let the court determine negligence based on evidence.
