UMy sister (26F) got hit by a bike last week on a road accident. He was trying to escape the lisence and helmet checking and took a u turn hitting my sister. The police took the picture of his number plate and took my sister to the hospital.
She broke her right leg, got plaster, admitted into the hospital, went through surgery and plates were inserted. Anddd 3 stiches.
The police found out that guy. His bike was registered on his mother’s name. (He lives in a basti) At first he denied and said I didn’t hit her she did. But ofc police were present there during the accident. So he couldn’t lie.
Now, his parents comes to hospital begging my sister and our family to not file a case against them as they are poor and can’t even afford to compensate.
She said “we bought a bike for him 3 months ago in installment he’s 20 yo doing diploma. His life will be ruined” and etc…
Right now we’re not the condition to file a case but my brother (21M) is telling our parents to do so.
So if we file a case, what will be the actions taken against him??
Edit: forgot to add that her mother said she’s a maid. (And that guy didn’t even come to apologise)

UGetting plates inserted is a serious matter. Make them pay all expenses for medication and charge extra for the pain and suffering. Sometimes examples need to be made, else “chalta hai ” atitude will destroy next person’s life.
If that guy can afford a bike, surely he can afford a license and helmet. He didn’t , shows his priorities. File FIR with medical reports.

UHaving plates and pins inserted is a very painful process and the recovery and physiotherapy is more exhausting.
Around a year back, a bike guy made a illegal cross and hit my scooty. I was thrown off and had abrasions in my elbow and knees. Since it was superficial I didn’t think much of it. The next day I took a x ray and found a hairline fracture in my toe. The recovery was very painful and the guy got off with just paying a bribe of 500 rs.
You can let him go if it gives you mental peace. You might think that it the right thing to do but if he knew he made a mistake he would have come to apologise instead of his mother. You might be his first victim but if you don’t make him pay, you might not be his last. He knew he made a mistake and he has to pay for it. -

USorry to say but go with your brother’s suggestion
Remember there are 2 types of people:-
1. Who commit accidents but take full responsibility for all that and accept the mistake
2. The one who cries and lies
These are the second ones. Don’t hold back and make sure they pay for their mistake.
And I am sorry about what happened to your sister, I hope she gets well soon.

UIf he didn’t even came to apologize in person. That means he isn’t guilty for wht he did.
Just file case and go through legally and ask compensation. If they don’t, file th case in court.
Atleast if he came and apologised with you. You might’ve should think to leave the matter. But nah his ego didn’t let him.
And you have already suffered much bcs of this incident. It’d just a act of justice.
And take care yourself, don’t strain that leg and eat healthy foods too.
And you have a great chance to order ur brother haha 🤣🤣.
Don’t worry much tc ( ･ω･)ﾉ

UActions have consequences. If someone is going to cause grievous harm to a person, they have to face the consequences.
OP’s sister is going through lot of pain and harm for no fault of hers. The biker has to face the consequences, even if it means his life is ruined.
Poverty is no excuse for grievously hurting a person.

UCan’t walk for 2-3 years, make the FIR an attempted murder, no basti monkey should get away by doing shit like this. She is in her prime, coming from someone who broke his ankle, this shit is a pain for life. It’s not your burden to bear because a monkey was irresponsible. Make them pay through their teeth. No mercy no remorse. Get the monkey thrown in jail as well.

UNAL
Poverty isn’t a crime. Deliberately putting other road users at risk is. Today it was a person that made out alive because of his mistakes. Tomorrow, it could be a child that he’d hit and run and leave the kid to die.
Please file the case so that his license gets revoked. Whether or not you get compensation out of this is secondary but for general public safety, do not let this man have the right to drive again.

UNAL:
I was hit too.
Get an FIR done. If they want to settle outside court! ask for all medical expense + expense that will come due to her ability to not work + mental duress. a minumum of 5 lcs, nothing less.
Take them for every penny they have. Chappris need to know , actions have consequences.
I lost major part of my adulthood due the accident and i still feel i could’ve gotten better compensation.

MStay firm with your decision. I think this soft heartedness leads to more problem. The parents had resources to buy a bike(even on installments), but didn’t bother with a helmet and license? No sense of explaining him about do’s and don’ts on riding on road.
Let them sell their bike if needed. Pretty sure their insurance will be void because the boy driving most probably doesn’t have a license.
Paying the medical bill isn’t even compensation. No one can really compensate for the pain and suffering and long term issue because of the plates. Why should only the person who got hit suffer and the person who caused the accident walk scot free.
He had the audacity to lie and claim that he didn’t cause the accident and even now he didn’t show up to apologise. Being poor is not an excuse for bad behaviour or lying.

SIf this a**hole can’t handle a bike, he doesn’t deserve to be riding one. Simple as that.
If the family is so poor, are they okay if you ( hypothetically ) break one bone of each of the family member in exchange ?!
As some of the other comments have mentioned, it’s all just drama, crocodile tears.
Ignore everything they say, if they act up. Get police over for intimidation and have them removed. Show no mercy. They’re not worth it.
The accident might be unintentional. But the way the accused and the family have handled / behaved after the fact is in no way showing a bit of guilt / innocence / concern for the victim.
If tomorrow I was in an accident, I will try to avoid punishment for sure but I’ll make sure and be concerned about the victim and definitely not behave like the accused & fam in this case.
It’s all just a show. They’ll show their true colours soon enough regardless of what you do. Trust me on this. Be firm. Ignore their requests and every single word they utter.

UIf you don’t he will do this to someone else, and that someone else might not be as lucky as your sister who only broke her leg.
File a case get this bastard off the roads. -

UDont show mercy OP. The guy hit your sister and lied it was his mother. Show no mercy to such an asshole please. Your sister must be going through so much pain and anxiety . I was in a similar accident 7 years ago and still have the plates in my hand and am shit scared to get it removed. It has scarred me for life to the extent I never wish to go to the hospital no matter what. Not that I want it like that, am working on it. It is a trauma. Please tell your sister to not drop charges, please. He wont be sorry if he does it to 10 other ppl.

UIs this a legal sub? Most of the people here have no clue what they’re talking and expecting the boy to compensate out of his pocket as it’s some moral obligation?
Here is the thing, he doesn’t have any moral obligation to pay from his pocket because he has third party insurance. Why would some one pay third party insurance and then on top of that have to pay from pocket when something happens? What’s the point of third party insurance then?
You can file a case without feeling guilt, because nothing really will happen to the boy as the case will be fought by their insurance legal team and not by them. They probably are unaware of it. Just tell them to talk to their insurance people, and you can file a case. -

UI’m not concerned about compensation, but I strongly believe that punishment is necessary for his actions. No one should be forgiven simply because of their economic status. He hit you with his bike, and there should be consequences for that. Punishment will teach him a lifelong lesson about responsible driving.
If we forgive him without consequences, he may not learn from his mistake. It’s essential to hold him accountable for his actions to ensure he understands the gravity of his error and becomes a more responsible individual in the future.
-
EAlways file an FIR. don’t let this go . way too many times these parents come ask for forgiveness like he did some mistake but it’s not a mistake ,it’s a crime ,if you let this go ,that guy will gonna do the same thing in future .also not all poor people are good people. treat everyone case by case.

AAn action should indeed be taken. Its not like it will destroy their career or life. It will however be a useful lesson for him and might save others on the road in the future. It will be better for you to avoid direct contact with the family. Do not provide your contacts to the other party and let a professional handle the situation.
-
UFile an FIR, possibly the insurance will not pay on his behalf considering he was violating multiple traffic rules at the time of accident but 2 lakh is a huge sum let them sell the bike put anything they have on mortgage take loans and recover the amount.
Had it been an accident where the person was not violating rules then you could have shown some mercy but in this case he was a violator.
Also don’t take anyone’s word as fact most probably they are lying.

UMaids are paid well in some areas of bangalore.
The son is clearly a miscreant but regardless you have to do this for your sister.
For them it will embed the cost of their son’s bad habits.
For your sister it will only make her lose trust in you and your family. She needs someone who will stand today and make the wrong doer pay for his crimes.
Preferably by jail or such.

UI know that molarity and acceptance should be there but I dont the understant the mindset of people like people are saying to sell his bike for her medical expenses etc etc. I think you should ask him to pay half money which he can pay in installment. Because Any one can make a mistake and if thier finencial condition is not good (like living in basti, bike on installment etc) then you should understand and forgive him and ask him to pay half money which he can pay montly without much burden bcz after this situation his parent will curse him directly or inderctly bcz they are already poor and of new problem. I am saying this if OP and his family can afford the expenses. According to his condition, forcing them to pay full is not good (according to me). Show some mercy. If he is overspeeding and driving with his friends then you can ask him full to pay. I am not justifying but there maybe a case that he ran from that accendent situation bcz sometimes public take big wrong mistakes like beating the person etc etc. I am just saying that anyone can make mistake (if he was not overspeeding and raoming with his friends).

USomeone I know was the victim of such an accident, the bikers family requested not to file a case n they didn’t. That uncle never came out of the brain injury and passed away 3 months later. The biker shouldn’t have been let off the hook then and neither should the one who hit your sister. Please file a case!
