Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Regarding Motor Act

Sir, My brother met with an accident and died on the spot which is purely due to negligence of the bus driver. Incidentally, My father also expired one year back.

In this scenario, few of my relatives are trying to claim as dependents to my brother. Is the court of law going to accept these claims in any liberal sense?? Is it possible for any one other than my mother to take part in claiming for compensation? Few lawyers are trying to attract my relatives saying that they also can get a share.. Please guide me.
