# Bengaluru woman bedridden after crash, seeks Rs 20 lakh from Rapido 2026-08-07T14:30:46+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sani Krishna, a 32-year-old interior designer in Bengaluru, has sent a legal notice to bike taxi aggregator Rapido after a crash on June 17 left her bedridden for two months. The bike rider was allegedly reckless, leading to a collision with a tractor that crushed her. She suffered seven fractured ribs, lost her spleen in emergency surgery, and needed facial reconstruction. Krishna has spent more than Rs 20 lakh on treatment so far. Her legal team says Rapido tried to cap liability at an insurance payout of Rs 1 lakh, even though the company advertises accident cover of Rs 17-20 lakh. Rapido says it needs supporting documents to process the claim, but Krishna insists she has submitted them. No compensation beyond a minimal insurance payment has been paid. She plans to approach a consumer court. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: accident, bike taxi, gig economy, insurance, liability, Rapido Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-interior-designer-bedridden-after-rapido-crash-seeks-damages/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
