in 166 petitioner probably needs to prove the negligence of the respondent.

there are standard formulas, just check with the insurance company.

the latest law beeen laid down by hon'ble supreme court in sarla verma case.. it is now adopted by the courts below..

 

it has ladi down the multipliers according to the age of the deceased. the multiplier of 9 is applied in the death cases of 55- 60 years

 

so while calculating the dependency, 16000 * 12 *  9 =  17, 28 , 000

 

deducting 1/3 for personal expenses  ...17, 28, 000 / 3  =  576000

 

amount  of compensation = 1728000 - 576000 =  11 52 000

 

but in your case , the dependecy has to be seen, whether the major sons and daughters were dependent upon the income of the deceased.. meet good lawyer in your city.. because the evidence part is most important.. as calculated above claimant  can get claim of 1152000 + certain other expenses like funeral expenses, medical expenses etc..
