About Motor Accident Claims
About Me
Nineteen years as an advocate in Bangalore, I’ve seen what motor accident victims and their families go through. My focus? Getting fair compensation, plain and simple. I don’t sugarcoat things, but I do stick with you through the ups and downs.
What I Handle
- Representing accident victims at the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) and in court when needed
- Managing all the paperwork - from starting your claim to the final settlement or judgment
- Dealing with claims for injuries, vehicle damage, lost earnings, and, sadly, fatal accidents
- Negotiating with insurance companies for accident insurance settlement if it can be solved outside court
My Approach
No two cases look the same. Sometimes it’s a straight fight in court, sometimes it’s about talking it out for a quicker road accident injury compensation. I’ll tell you upfront which way looks better for your case. If it’s a tough fight, I’m ready for it. If there’s a chance for an honest settlement, I push for it.
Real Talk
Legal stuff can drag, and it isn’t always smooth. But I keep things clear - no false promises. My work is local, mostly in Bangalore, and I prefer to be practical and straight when dealing with these cases. If you need legal help after car crash, I’m here to guide you through it.
