    Case Summary: Biju P A and Others v. Aloshious Joseph and Others (OP 993/2019) Decision: The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded ₹28,54,500 to petitioners (husband, daughter, and son of deceased) in a fatal motor accident case. The tribunal found composite negligence between the motorcycle rider and car driver, holding the car's insurer (6th respondent) liable for full compensation with right to recover 50% from the motorcycle owner. Key Reasoning: The deceased was a pillion rider who died from injuries sustained in a collision between a motorcycle and car at Anathoozhi junction. Based on eyewitness testimony, the tribunal determined both drivers contributed equally to the accident. Since the motorcycle had only liability coverage (no pillion rider coverage), the car's insurance company bore full liability, establishing principles of joint and several liability in composite negligence cases.
