What happens if you get into an accident with an expired license in India?
who will compensate the victim?
1 Insurance company
2 Vehicle owner
3 Driver
A.Dear Client,
The owner of the vehicle, regardless of who was driving the vehicle with an expired driving license at the time of the accident, is liable to compensate the victim. The liability would shift on the insurance company if there was a third party insurance of the vehicle.

A.Dear client,
It is a well-settled principle of law that if the driver of the offending vehicle was not holding an effective and valid driving licence at the time of the accident, the insurance company has to pay the compensation first to the victim or his or her family and later recover it from the owner of the vehicle
