This query is : Resolved
I had been in a car accident. The co passenger sitting with me died after few days of incident. I too got injured and was in rest for last few months.
The car dashed into the divider and no outside casualties occur other than the co passenger who was with me in my car. Co passenger didnt happen to wear seatbelt, and I was wearing the same at the time of the incident. It happens that Im not able to recall how the incident happen as I went unconcious.
The co passengers brother filed a case against me under sec 337 and which was amended to 304A (after the co passenger died). There were no witnesses on the spot as the FIR states that I was driving rashly and negligently.
I require guidance on what can happen further or what I can do.

The charges needs to be met on merits. There may not be any major issue if you had valid drving licence and you were not drunk. The fact that the passenger was not wearing seatbelt may lessen you culpability.
