In case of a motor accident, the victim from the accident gets compensation from the insurance company provided that the motor vehicle has a valid insurance and driver has a valid driver's license. In case the driver does not have a valid driver’s license then the owner of the vehicle and the driver of the vehicle. You can claim for compensation by filing a petition in Motor Accident Claim tribunal. The driver can also be charged under section 337, negligent driving and driving without a license.
