You have committed a grave error by stating something contrary to the truth regarding the incident. You must repent to Allah by restoring rights to their rightful owners. The sum of 25,000 paid by the insurance company to the other party is not permissible for him to take, as he is the one at fault. As for the amount the company paid you, it is permissible for you to take what you would have been entitled to if the company had known the truth of the matter. You must rectify the situation with the company so that what was taken from it unjustly is returned.
