Hi Experts,
I came across a case wherein, the accident victim & driver were made to arrive at a settlement in police station for x amount. Post which a settlement letter was issed @ the behest of victim/Injured stating no further claim against the driver; My query is: 1)Is such letter valid under law. 2)What will be the driver's stand if the victim obtains treatment, money in lieu of the accident & then changes track to file an MVC case. 3)Does the driver have any instalation against such future claims by victim.

when there is settlement driver must obtain the receipt/deed of settlement, otherwise victim may file a case claiming compensation against him again
