Our Work · Crash Claim Compensation

Injured in a road crash? Compensation is your right.

Most Indian road crash victims never claim what they’re owed — because no one tells them they can. We’re here to change that with free tools, expert mentors and step-by-step guidance.

Road crash victim being supported through the claim process

About this initiative

Compensation is a right. We make sure victims actually receive it.

India sees over 4.6 lakh road crashes a year, yet fewer than 1 in 4 victims ever file a compensation claim. The reasons are always the same — they don’t know they can, the process feels opaque, or they can’t afford a lawyer.

This initiative combines AI-powered legal guidance (Aasha), an instant compensation calculator, and a network of pro-bono advocates and trauma doctors — so any victim, anywhere in India, has a real path to justice.

You can still claim compensation

You can get compensation — it’s your legal right!

The Motor Vehicles Act is far more forgiving than people assume. Here are situations where victims still qualify for compensation — and we can help you file.

  • The driver ran away

    If the driver responsible for the accident fled the scene, you may still have legal options to recover compensation.

  • The offending vehicle had no insurance

    Even if the at-fault vehicle was uninsured, there may still be ways to pursue a claim.

  • You were a cyclist, pedestrian, or passenger

    If you were not driving but were injured in the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation.

  • You're unsure who was at fault

    If fault is unclear or you don't want to blame anyone yet, a legal review can help determine your options.
