How can I claim compensation after car accident?
My leased car met with an accident due to the fault of another driver and was declared a total loss. It was a major accident, and I am still suffering from trauma and back pain issues. My insurance company paid me ₹2 lakhs towards the repair/claim amount. The lease period was almost over, and I was planning to purchase the car at the end of the lease. Since the accident occurred due to the other driver’s fault, can I still file a court case to recover the value of my car and claim compensation? Ultimately, I lost my car. Please advise.
Even if you received insurance compensation from your insurer, you may still have a legal right to claim additional compensation from the driver responsible for the accident, especially for pain, suffering, medical expenses, and financial loss. Since the accident caused trauma and loss of your leased vehicle, you can consult a motor accident lawyer and file a compensation claim before the appropriate Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) depending on insurance settlement terms and fault determination.
