Motor accident insurance claim

(Querist) 27 June 2018 This query is : Resolved 
MY HUSBAND EXPIRED LAST YEAR (JUNE) IN A ROAD ACCIDENT ON HIS WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK. HE WAS RIDING HIS COLLEAGUE HONDA ACTIVA (NOT INSURED) WHEN HE MET WITH AN ACCIDENT WITH A SCHOOL BUS. THE BUS DRIVER FLED THE SPOT BUT WENT TO THE POLICE STATION AND SURRENDER. A FIR WAS FILED AND THE CASE WENT TO MACT MUMBAI I AND MY CHILDREN WENT AS DEPENDENTS TO CLAIM COMPENSATION AND HIS FATHER (AGE 55) AND MARRIED SISTER ALSO CLAIM TO BE DEPENDENTS AND TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION.NOW THE AGENT TELLS ME THAT THE INSURANCE PAPERS SUBMITTED BUS THE BUS OWNER IN COURT ARE BOGUS AND INVALID AND THE INSURANCE SAYS THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AGE 2 YEARS AND 3 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED UNDER HINDU MARRIAGE ACT. MY HUSBANDS ANNUAL INCOME WAS 240000 AND HIS AGE WAS 29.

UNDER WHICH ACT/LAW CAN I CLAIM COMPENSATION?
IS THE BUS OWNER/DRIVER LIABLE TO COMPENSATE ME?
WILL HIS FATHER AND MARRIED SISTER ALSO RECEIVE COMPENSATION?

PLEASE ADVICE

If Insurance papers are fake then it will be bus owner's responsibility to pay compensation from his own pocket.... Not only he will pay the compensation but he will have to face imprisonment (with or without fine) in various others sections for his act.....

Yes please consult with your lawyer..... and get the correct information from the correct source....

Best of luck...
