Self car accident driving a friends car
06-Jun-2026 (In Motor Accident Law)
My friend asked me to drive his Mercedes car which he claimed to be his car as we were casually going out of a farm house on his work, after some distance car fell in a deep pit which wasn't visible during night time. Soon after the accident my friend claimed the car to be his friends car. And now demanding 15 lakhs for repair with out any estimate and blackmailing by calling my parents. Till date the owner has not contacted me nor he is sending me full rc and policy copy. Do i need to pay full
On the facts stated, you are not legally bound to pay an arbitrary amount of ₹15 lakhs merely because a demand has been made. The burden lies on the claimant to establish ownership of the vehicle, the extent of damage, insurance coverage, repair estimates, and your alleged negligence. If the vehicle was insured, the insurance claim process and policy terms become highly relevant. Until authentic ownership documents, insurance policy details, and a genuine repair assessment are furnished, no liability can be presumed. Any intimidation, coercion, blackmail, or pressure tactics have no legal sanctity and may themselves give rise to appropriate legal remedies. Do not admit liability or make any payment without complete documentary proof and proper legal evaluation.
