Car accident with government bus
I had an accident with a government bus in Goa. Only my car headlight is broken. The bus had a big scratch on its side. The government bus driver noted down my car number and left. Do i need to be worried? Can this lead to a court case? Im not expecting any compensation from the bus and neither do i want to pay any compensation and want to avoid courts and police stations.

it is a minor incident, where no one is injured so no need to worry if you received any summon or any notice then settle dispute amicably.
It would not lead to court case as only bus got scratched
no no one was injured in the accident
there would be no court case
Maybe he hust noted down the no. because he wanted to scare you. In case he calls and demands compensation don't listen to him as he may be blackmailing you. In case the department files a case you shall receive an official notice from the MACT.

Dear,
In his issue, no court case is maintainable as no one is hurt.
No if he files any case you can also file a counter case against him. I don't think any issues here
NO, minute scratch have no consequences. Even he went to file a complain, police will ask you pay damages and matter over.
If you are afraid of the incident, then nothing prevents you from lodging a complaint against the bus and its driver about the accident.
You may discuss with a local advocate and better file a complaint with the nearest police station.
No need to worry it doesn't attract any case for compensation.
- As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you had an accident but not taken any action from your side to prove his fault and he has also not taken any action till date, but you are worried about the scene of he files any complaint.
- See, you need not to worry as no one would himself go and say that the mistake was yours though you can state the complaint against the driver as his fault.
- Or otherwise can wait for him to file any such complaint which you would have to contest.
- Otherwise, second option would be good or you to be on the safer side.
