Truck owner not compensating for damages done by accident


26-Aug-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Accident happened on August 9, 2018 around 9.00 AM, where my parked car (outside my bldg complex) adjacent to the road was hit by fully loaded truck working for construction site close by. It caused a huge damage of around 70-80k (estimate given by service centre), crushing car's head light and it's assembly, damaged driver-side fender, bonet and door. It has cracked the front bumper and rare bumper due to collision in the back. Also both co-driver's side doors (left side) got damaged. The owner of the truck who came later was initially ready to compensate for the damage caused but later denied hearing the big amount, hence gone through the police station procedure of filling a TAD. On being calling him for mutual consent he is not ready to pay for the damages by him/the driver. Need your kind advise and directions for further procedures to move with.

This is my response to you: 1. File an FIR against him and the owner of the truck; 2. File a complaint to the motor accident tribunal; 3. Stake a claim from third party insurance; 4. You can ask the tribunal for maximum compensation.
