My son was driving was driving a car at a speed of 20 Kms near a turning point. There were 2 women & man on the side. Suddenly, this man fell on the car, breaking his foot. Women did not have a scratch, as they were 5 to 6 ft. away from the car.But as you know, the police slapped 279, 337, 338 on my son.
Please help me & suggest what should be our presentation in the court, as the car was faraway from running at rash, negligent manner so as to endanger the human life

If there are CCTV around, try to get the footage.
Or establish as you have thought of.

Oppose the claim of the opposite party on merits, engage some experienced lawyer expert in such cases.
Try to find witness present at site and may depose in favor.

If the matter reached the Court, obtain a copy of the final report. However, irrespective of the merits involved, it could be pragmatic approach, if no allegations to moral turpitude is involved, to plead guilty if only fine is imposed. Such fine could be much less if the proceedings could be taken up in a 'Mega Adalt'.
Please consult a local advocate.
