MACT Awards Compensation to Families of Road Accident Victims in Thane and Mohali
Two Motor Accident Claims Tribunals (MACT) awarded compensation to families of individuals killed in separate road accidents. In Thane, the family of a woman who died in a 2011 jeep crash received Rs 14.81 lakh, with the driver held solely responsible and the insurer directed to pay first. In Mohali, the family of a 65-year-old cyclist killed by a truck in 2025 was awarded Rs 7 lakh, with the driver, owner, and insurer jointly liable. Both tribunals rejected insurer objections and cited rash driving as the cause.
