A Delhi Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded Rs 1.63 crore in compensation to the family of an engineer who died in a car accident in May 2023. The tribunal ruled the accident, caused by a vehicle jumping a divider and colliding head-on, resulted from rash and negligent driving. The insurer's claim of contributory negligence was rejected due to lack of evidence. The compensation is to be paid by the car's insurer.
