Motor accident claim basics (India)

Road accident injuries, insurance, and claim preparation in everyday language — educational only, not a promise of compensation.

Immediate practical steps

Medical care first. Note vehicle numbers, location, time, and witnesses if safe. Keep hospital bills, FIR or police report copies, and insurance policy details.

Insurance and forums

Many claims involve insurer processes and, in some cases, motor accident claims tribunals. Deadlines and documents matter; exact paths depend on facts.

What not to promise yourself

Social posts that guarantee a lump-sum payout are unreliable. Independent advocates may offer general guidance; amounts and timelines are never assured on Adhiwakta.
