I'm posting this for a friend of mine. She's around 22, has a DL, was covered by insurance and rides a Dio. All this apparently happened yesterday in Pune.

She headed to the school/college/PU (whatever its called in maharashtra state syllabus ?) where she did her 11th & 12th (or its non-CBSE equivalent) to meet up with friends, and was at the parking lot sitting on her static (non moving) dio, with a helmet on. Some poser kid on an Apache apparently was doing stunts around and he banged into her, resulting in her falling, her left arm being fractured and the Dio falling on her.

Her friends immediately took her to a hospital, she had to be operated to remove a stone that lodged itself into her skin, and now she cannot use one hand till she recovers. She hasn't informed her dad yet about what really happened because she was extremely scared to do so (I convinced her to keep uncle informed).

Now about the kid, I doubt the kid was past 18, and so obviously he was not covered by insurance. Must have been some spoilt rich kid considering he rode an Apache (probably a newer one, but she couldn't identify what it was). She has enough witnesses for the incident, and its not hard to track down the registration number of the bike and the kid's details because he's a student there.

I'm planning to ensure that that kid pays up for all medical expenses and also a good compensation amount for all the trouble. Can anyone suggest legal measures to follow next ? I'm planning to email this thread to her by tonight. So please suggest some good ideas (legal ones obviously) with minimal effort.

She has to leave Pune for Bangalore in a week, so all the actions need to be done within next week. I'm emailing her this thread tonight, so please pour in your suggestions
