accident cases

Hello Vijay,

Compensation in accident cases largely depend on the injuries of the victim as well as the nature of the victim.

Section 165 (claim for compensation) can be made–

1. By the person who has sustained the injury.
2. By the owner of the property where death has resulted from the motor accident.
3. By all or any of the legal representatives of the deceased.
4. By any agent duly authorized by the person injured or all or any of the legal representatives of the deceased, as the case may be.

Simply put, if a driver is involved in an accident in India and if it caused victim’s death then, a minimum of INR 50,000/- and if permanent disablement is caused then, a minimum of INR 25,000/- must be paid.
