My car was hit by a driver who did not have accident insurance. While the details of the accident were being recorded, another person who happened to have accident insurance claimed that he was the driver who struck my car. As such, the police officer referred him to his insurance company to process the claim for my injuries and the damage to my car. Is it permissible for me to receive the compensation that will be provided by that person’s insurance company even though they were not the driver who hit my car? I know that if I do not take the money, my injuries will remain untreated and my car unrepaired.
It is not permissible for you to take the compensation. Instead, you could consult with a legal expert and determine the best course for getting compensation from the person who is actually responsible.
