@ Ritu,
1. What type of injury did you receive, i.e., simple, grievous etc. as stated in the MLC (if it is there)?
2. Was a complaint/FIR registered? What type of negligence did you find in the functioning of Security Guard?
3. Was there direct involvement of the Guard in the accident?
4. Where did you hit or who had hit you in the alleged accident?
5. No opinion can be formed on such vague posting provide full information.
6. Consult and engage a local lawyer for further questions, guidance, advise and proceeding in a professional manner.
Regards.
