Tribunals Award Compensation in Motor Accident Cases Across India

Three recent motor accident tribunal cases highlight compensation awarded for injuries and fatalities. In Delhi, a 21-year-old man received over Rs 84.5 lakh after being severely disabled when a car door was negligently opened. In Thane, Rs 35.24 lakh was granted to the family of a man killed in a scooter collision, with income assessed despite limited evidence. The Punjab and Haryana High Court doubled compensation to Rs 1.18 crore for a homemaker who died after a crash, recognizing the value of domestic work in loss calculations.
