My father was hit by a scooterist and he suffered injuries. The person who hit him is refusing to pay. Can my father claim from the insurance company? Also what is the legal procedure for filing for compensation?If the vehicle which hit your father was at fault, primarily he is responsible for compensating your father for the injuries inflicted. However, if the scooter had a third party insurance cover at the time of accident, the liability will get passed on to the insurers provided certain conditions are met. You can file your complaint with the Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal (MACT), which deals with matters related to compensation of motor accidents. Also, inform the police about the accident. It is also advisable to keep track of the eyewitnesses to the accident, if any.
