Gather any documents related to the sale, registration transfer, accident reports, and insurance policy. Maintain copies of everything for your records. Contact your insurance company and inform them of the accident and claim filed against you. Be as transparent as possible, providing all relevant details. You are not automatically liable for the compensation claim simply because you were the previous owner of the bike. The final liability will depend on the investigation and legal proceedings. to know how to protect yourself contact us on helpline number to talk to a experienced lawyer.
