If th4 cab owner/driver is insisting on FIR against you, it is better you also lodge a complaint on the cab owner/driver narrating the incidence. It is always safer to lodge a complaint from your side too or else you will be liable for the insurance claims.

You cannot expect support form police in this regard who will act on the basis of graft received by them or on the basis of the pressure from any higher authority.

Your counter case would make him to a negotiable platform where you can dictate terms and make a counterclaim against him for the damages you suffered.

Hello,

1) Let him file FIR. You are not liable to pay and settle.Any settlement must be done in the court .

2) If your documents are in place including the insurance policy, you can always contest the case and defend yourself. Engage a local lawyer to help you.

3) It was unwise of you to have not filed a police complaint soon after the accident happened as there was another vehicle involved and injury caused to the people.Immediately file a police complaint about the accident and the threat of extortion from the driver of the cab.

Hi, Do you have insurance policy if yes then you don't bother too much.

2. Don't pay any amount to them ask them to file FIR and matter will go to the court and contest the case if you liable to pay the amount then insurance company will pay the amount.

3. Write a letter to the insurance company about the fact of the accident and driving license number and police number.

try to settle the matter.

1) let FIR be filed

2) refuse to pay Rs 3 lakhs demanded

3) accident occurred on account of negligence of cab driver . Where is the question of you paying 3 lakhs

4) in fact you should file FIR of rash and negligent driving against the cab driver

At the time of such accidents it is most unwise to reach a settlement more so when the aggressor or victim is a cab driver as these people subsequently file the FIR to extort money. You were the victim but have been portrayed as aggressor in the complaint. Be that as it may, if the FIR has been filed then you should obtain bail at first. You should also file a counter FIR against the cab driver for rash and negligent driving. This apart, a lawsuit for compensation can also be filed against the cab owner. If you wish to settle it out of court with him you can do that.
