Hi,
I was travelling with my wife and 1yr old baby by car.
On the way i had stopped at a traffic signal behind other vechicles which had already stopped. A speeding government bus came and crashed into my stationary car from behind, my car was pushed forward into the Tavera car standing in front of me. Due to the impact my wife and 1yr old baby were thrown from the rear seat to the front and luckly suffered only minor injuries and my car along with the Tavera car was dragged 60 meters. My car's entire front and back portion had caved in and after coming out of the car I witnessed lot of damage to my car. I have just raised an FIR against the driver of the government bus.
Is there an way i can claim for the damage on my car from the government transport department?
Also, while raising the FIR the station writer told me that the penalty for government drivers involved in such accidents is a very paltry sum and moreover the buses do not have any insurance. So please guide me on how to claim for the damage to my car.
