I met with a very bad road accident in my car. Was severely injured, my entire right side was fractured and hip dislocated, with nerve injury. The car with whom the collition happened, did not undergo any major injury. They had minor cuts and was discharged from the hospital within next 3 hours. I had to undergo multiple surgeries on the other hand. However, the other car driver has lodged FIR saying I was coming from the wrong side, and the passengers of the car are the eye witness. My car was never taken by the police, no photographs were taken. There were no CCTV cams or any police present during/after the accident. Police has charged me with IPC 337. I do not want to go for a trial, as I will be leaving the city soon. Police is saying this is petty offence and since I was injured badly, I should go to the court and pay fine. If I do that, will I be deemed as convicted ? How will it impact my visa applications? Please let me know if there is any other way to deal with it. My lawyer is not responding at all and wants to go only for trial.
