CASE SUMMARY The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded ₹7,22,000 compensation to 22-year-old Amal John for grievous injuries sustained when a pickup van driven negligently by the third respondent struck his motorcycle on 17 September 2021. The tribunal found the driver liable based on the FIR and final police report charging him under IPC Sections 279 and 338, and held the vehicle's insurer (Oriental Insurance Company) responsible for payment, rejecting the insurer's argument that the driver lacked a valid transport license since a light motor vehicle license suffices for such vehicles. Compensation was awarded across multiple heads including ₹1,15,515 for medical expenses, ₹2,50,000 for pain and suffering, ₹1,09,350 for loss of income (calculated using minimum wage), and ₹1,18,098 for disability, with 9% annual interest from the petition date.
