    Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal at Palanpur awarded Rs. 5,04,260 compensation to a 27-year-old claimant who suffered 11% permanent disability in a December 2019 accident involving a luxury bus and container vehicle. The tribunal found both the bus and container drivers negligent (40:60 liability ratio), holding the bus owner, container owners, and their insurers (opponents 1-4) jointly liable while exonerating the truck owner and insurer. Compensation includes future loss of income (Rs. 3,14,160), medical expenses (Rs. 1,20,100), and other pecuniary/non-pecuniary losses, payable with 9% interest; 70% to be deposited as a fixed deposit for five years.
