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.
Pls advice

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