Re: motor vehicle accident

You can file the case even now. There is no limitation for filling a case for compensastion. The second question no lawyer would like to answer since sharing the outcome of some proceedings will amount to misconduct on the part of lawyer.

Yes, you can still file case of compensation. As such there is no conception of case on sharing basis which is otherwise a misconduct.However, in case of need you may contact.Professional charges are applicable.

Re: motor vehicle accident

The limitation regarding filing the compensation case has been removed from the Motor Vehicles Act. But while filing the FIR you need to expalin the delay in filing the FIR after so much of gap. In the FIR you have to mention the complete circumstances of the case along with the number of vehicle and name of driver & owner (If available) of the offending vehicle.
