Indian High Courts Award Compensation Years After Road Accident Injuries
Two Indian High Courts awarded compensation decades after road accidents. The Gujarat High Court granted Rs 6.19 lakh to a man injured in 1992, including Rs 1.5 lakh for loss of marital life and interest from the claim date. Separately, the Bombay High Court ordered compensation to a woman injured in 1996 despite no permanent disability, emphasizing that all bodily injuries qualify for compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act. Both rulings highlight evolving judicial approaches to long-delayed injury claims.
